I went a long way
In search of a friend
A friend whom I could lean on
Share my feelings
Tell my achievements
Crib about my grievances
I searched for a long time
I continued my search
Till I saw you
You
Who gave me comfort
A solace from the outside world
A cushion to rest upon
At times of distress
A pond to pour my tears
At times of sorrow
A true friend
Who could share my joy
And also my worries
But, now
A time has come
A time to part
Heavy at heart
Not knowing when we would meet
Unchanged
With the same love
We had been having for each other
All these years
But then
I know in my heart
That though times may change
And many friends may come
And go
The true friendship between us
Would never change
For it is real
With goodness uncontaminated.
