True friends

Standing under the bright sun

And looking ahead

Don’t know where I was leading

Waiting for the life’s next story

Had one thing capitulated with my mind

To have no more pretenders around like a blind

Sitting in the classroom alone

Watching all the joyous faces unknown

All of a sudden came a twist

You entered in my life from the midst

With your beaming smile and friendly talks

I wondered how and why

But that’s how He endows

Sometimes with thorns and sometimes with rose

It didn’t take much time for me to realise

That you are a friend for the lifetime

You are the only one I trust

But it’s hard to believe that

I’ve been so blessed

A beautiful prize

Of themost precious diamond

The best gift of my life

Ever!!!!

Within no time, unclear

We became so dear

You teached me the right way of life

Beautiful colours started filling in my world

Everything started turning right

All my dreams began taking pace

With you around,

there was nothing to hound

Encouraged to believe in myself

Trust the instinct and go right ahead.

Were always there to help and guide

No need to tell you how I felt

Because you read me like an open book

Oh! We chatted over the phone for hours together

Tensing father over the month end bills

You were not like others who liked to bitch

Always on the toes to help all friends

We didn’t need much flamboyance

Could even celebrate with a pack of sweets

Walking on the streets

Those are the beautiful memories I hold

Now our paths have parted

Still friends like ever

This life is short

So I want to let you know

What I feel for you

Can’t wait for another chance

So here I say again that

It didn’t take much time for me to realise

That you are a friend for the lifetime

You are the only one I trust

But it’s hard to believe that

I’ve been so blessed

A beautiful prize

Of themost precious diamond

The best gift of my life

Ever!!!!
