My closest friend, Happy Birthday!

My closest friend, Happy Birthday!

Today is jan 9! It's not just another day in the life of the person I know best! Its my closest friend's birthday! And too see him, through his window, from this rooftop, gives me immense joy and bliss.
I've seen him rise and fall. And I've seen his friends pick him up. I'm happy that he is in good hands, hands of people who care for him and love him conditionlessly. And also, I'm happy there are many hands!
I stand on this rooftop, in the shadow, look at him answer his calls with a serene smile and thank each one of them for greeting him! I see him text back replies, thinking of what could be the apt one. 
I did not play that much of a great part in his life probably, or maybe its what I think. But I will forever be his closest friend, whether he remembers me or not.
As I stand in this cold, silently observing this friend of mine, walk out and dance to the unheard melodies of the silent night, enjoy the warmth in the cold breeze to celebrate his new birth, I myself feel rejuvenated!
Maybe that's what birthdays do, spread joy and life to everyone seeing this one person! Or maybe, it is his unique ability. I cannot say.
From this anonymous character, to you, my closest friend, HAPPY SEVENTEENTH BIRTHDAY!
