The me in myself

a poem by Ramya

Friend…
To you,
I say,
what my thought says- and
what my heart says.
And,
I find no inconvenience
in pouring out my heart
to your lending ears.

Friend…
In you,
I see,
half my soul- and
half my heart.
And,
I find no inconvenience
in letting my own self
resting inside you
rule over me.

Friend…
From you,
I get,
Shoulders to lean over,
mind and ears to listen.
And,
I find no inconvenience
in using your free mind
to rejoice myself.

Friend…
To you,
I give,
All the time I have- and
all the fun I can.
And,
I find no inconvenience
in being with you- the you-
who make me what I am.

Friend…
We ourselves,
though two different souls,
have grown together,
have been together.
And,
have never felt inconvenient
in getting along well.
For you know well-
“Friendship is life
It lives with us throughout”
And I know it too.
