Very good claudia, this is a very good translation, I like it very much

wo xi wang wo shi ni de buddy = I hope I am your buddy

However what’s the meaning of “ye yi hou zhe ge shi”?

Sorry Benny! I forgot to translate in English:
I wanted to say you " I hope you remain my buddy also after this poem!" I mean I hope not to annoy you!
(wo xi wang ni (shi) wode buddy ye yihou zhe ge shi)
ye also
yi hou after
zhe ge this
shi poem
correct translate buddy as “dade pengyou?”

Now I understand, my friend.

For poem, you should use the measure word “shǒu”, so “zhè shǒu shī” is this poem.

Also we put time words in the beginning, therefore the correct order of the sentence is "zhè shǒu shī yǐ hòu, wǒ xī wàng nǐ hái shì (still) wǒ de buddy
