Riding with my best friend
Saturday, April 30th, 2005Today i went riding with my best friend.
We went through the Anzac Bridge, went past Balmain, Maroubra
and all other places that I have been familiar with.
But they all looked and felt different tonight.
I saw the bridge stood there sturdy,
the reflection of the lights on the water
divided by party boats sailing around the harbour
it bounces off the water and spreaded around elegantly.
I saw the huge and empty soccer field
staying still in the dark
and the mild mist of night surrounding it beautifully.
It was so beautiful, i wish I could stay there all night.
I saw the heavenly city light views
brightly shining over an open, vast grassy hill
and the cool night breeze of the wind was pushing against my face.
I felt the rush of adrenalin going through my heart
as we sped up the highway.
It was better than any roller coasters I have ever rode.
Then we went to a cafe for a little sip
and I met an old friend and mentor
who gave a meaningful reflection on life
without knowing it is what I need at the moment.
Most of all,
I am happy to know that
I still have a great best friend
that I can share all that with,
and who is still willing to share all the good and bad times.
This, my friend, is for you.
And for all the times we’ve been through
and for all the times there are for us to go through.
Let’s ride again soon
