In the tapestry of this fleeting year, Your presence stitched my path so clear. Through trials and days both long and gray, Your light was the dawn that led my way. Though time has barely brushed our strands, In you, I've found the rarest of friends. A bond unwinds with threads unbending, A journey shared with dreams ascending. We've whispered of Tokyo, a distant gleam, A city's allure shared in a waking dream. Now fate has conspired, with joyful surprise, To take us there beneath wide summer skies. So as stars map out twenty-twenty-six, Our friendship as steady as time's gentle ticks, Together to Tokyo, our spirits aflame— In friendship's deep journey, we'll forever remain.
