Once friendship and love stood at odds
fighting about who is more important in ones life
Love said obviously its me
and friendship simply smiled
Impulsive as love is, it said
Its not by chance that most stories are written on me
and most movies are made on me
that I am the one who makes people want to live..
and that some will even kill and die for me….
Yes..that is very true..said friendship…
that you have killed quite a few
but when you leave somebody so devastated
I’m the one who takes care of the ill-fated
and for every person that you tried to kill
I’m the one who put some life back into him..
I’m the one who shoulders…friendship then said…
when you should have been there…
And yet Im the one who is the most forgotten..
Coz now suddenly you decided to “be there”
You celebrate anniversaries…
Of the promise you decided to make on a day
But I’m the one who keeps my word
Without bothering of Work, Distances or whatever ahead may lay…
2 people can stay in love
only as long as they get along
but if you really want to stay together
its the friendship that will take you long.
After a lot of contemplation (which it always does!)
love just had to agree
That for it to last a lifetime..
friendship there had to be!
Cheers to friendship!
