"Friendship"

Together we have walked

A long way...

Hand in hand,

Towards the pathway of Friendship..

With my eyes focused

on the future,

while I stand on the threshold of the present

in between relationships, bonds and past promises

Blurred vision...

wrapped around

the dusty past;

Seeing myself torn, scratched and dragged; While I rub my hands helplessly

Watching the rapid movement of time,

the forthcoming scenarios

have also been blurred,

Vision encaved,

and my eyes are constantly moving around an illusion,

Seeing weird faces.. Creating confusion,

let alone people  

The words have also begun to create havoc,

Thus completely deviating

from the real meaning

engraved in my mind;

Which does not match with reality...

near or far...!

But ... the relationship that we share,

even today,

is just like a crystalline mirror

where I can see all the true colors of our friendship

with full faith, respect and devotion.. !!
