From the days when friendships did begin
I had unquestioningly believed in it,
In its ancient bookish definition
Of unconditional warmth and care
In its being the undeclared promise
Of always being there.
still I hardly found reasons of being thankful
to some friends who had heard me out
could not be indebted or grateful
That my friend was holding me strong
I always felt that friendship meant
being together, moving along
Now when I am here to share
my grins with those, I called friends
Why can`t I find anybody ?
They have just found a way
To unlock the clasp I held
though slowly but silently move away
Where are they gone who had one day
made me their friend and I, them mine
Who had once inexplicitly said they will stay?
Am I wrong at this moment
Or did I misinterpreted them then
and was sure my friendship they won`t forget?
At present when I look around to see
and search a friend to share my life
Now I know how wrong I used to be
Its only a word - the word 'friend'
Like everything does, one day
Even friendships may come to an end.
Looking at only a few
Who are still with me in smiles and difficulties
My precious friend, today when I see you
My heart is yearning just to say
"Thank you , I am contented that
at least our friendship did not fray...!"
