If you have a friend who truly cares – then life becomes a bliss

Someone who watches over you – is there for you without a miss

Someone with whom you can talk – without any filters

Say how you feel, be who you are – without any twisters

If you have this friend with you – do all to keep him close

Show no ego, have no doubt – that you can live without his honest dose

There will be many who will say things – how you would want to hear

Then all you’ll want is this honest pal – somewhere very near

For eventhough you might believe – that the words could’ve been milder

But in your heart you know for sure – they were only to make you wiser

So let me repeat at the heavy cost – of boring repetition 

To keep your honest friend with you – should be your ultimate mission

For life is a melody when you have a true friend around

So cheers to this loving relation of friendship abound

Have faith my dear these times will pass

This test will further us enhance

Have faith my dear HE will not forsake us

Just keep the trust among this ongoing fuss

This tide is high and we might drown 

If we don’t keep this faith and our strength abound

Testing times are these and in every way

But just keep going for there will be day

I know this is a turbulent flight

We got to hold on very tight

A little mistake might cost us dear

We might lose all, this is the fear

The darkest hour is one before dawn

Our deepest courage we need to tap upon

Just got to hold on and do our best

Upon HIS will, we should leave the rest

Sure I am that those who are righteous

Always see at the end brightness

So just keep yourself strong and your heart pious

Victory will appear which is currently sightless

Hand in hand, together we shall

Overcome challenges with high morale

Praying along for HIS blessings

We’ll wade across second by second

So keep up the faith, and keep your calm

We’ll walk this mile arm in arm

Don’t lose your smile and just remember

We have it in us to hold this ember!

Only love is real, it is what makes our heart beats

It is what fuels us, never put it on backseat

Love deserves its special place in everybody’s life

For it sets heart on fire, yes, it makes us feel alive

Let it flow through you, let it warm your heart

Just give in to the amazing feeling, let love  play its art

Not only for humans, love does it magic on all

For nature, pets, you name it – love might for anything befall

It consumes us totally, makes us nearly blind

But magically sometimes, a new us also we find

Make love help you grow, see the broader side of it

With love for those around, you can make everyone fit

Love is what’s needed in this world of today

Where hatred for each other, leaves no place for another ray

Let love rule our hearts, let love remove the jealousy

Let there be only compassion, with no place for treachery

Imagine what a world, it would be to live in

Where there’ll be no hatred, only bonhomie and grins

Towards that world, let love lead us to

Let love be our guide in whatever we do

Only love is real, yes truly it is

For it reaches where it should without any miss

Crossing oceans or lands, or even many lifetimes

It continues to spread warmth, until we hear its chimes! 

Your thoughts never leave me, though together we’re not, nor meant to be

Your memories cloud me and make me wonder why to be

This loneliness makes me question what was it supposed to be

And if it wasn’t supposed to be, then why did it ever bother me?

If you were not supposed to stay then why did you cross my way

If you didn’t mean truly, then why did you choose those words to say

Which stay engraved and never tend to leave my side

Now make me wonder, if you only just took me for a ride!

I try to curb this sadness within, try to see all good things around

Then where do these tears come from, even when I smile abound

Why my heart aches to know, if you too think of me alike

Do you also miss those times, when you didn’t have to hide your likes?

Though now faded, but memories never desert me

Of those times, when together were you and me

You’re always around even if not to be seen

Yes, mind never stops thinking of what could’ve been…!

Strange are you, confusing are your ways

You are around always, and sometimes nowhere for days!

Never have I told you, what you really mean to me, 

And if ever I’ve tried, knowingly you’ve pretended to not see! 

Why this confusion, why you’re in my life so

Why suddenly you appear whenever I am low?

How do you get to know that I am not what I show?

How do you understand my words without me saying so?

Still when I share, you pretend it doesn’t affect you

Is it really so?? No, it can’t be true!

For I’ve heard it in your words, I’ve seen it in your ways

Still sometimes you behave rash and my heart shattered lays  

You’re no one if I see, still you mean so much

If I count my close ones, you’re on top of people such

Then why do you pretend its nothing, and as if you don’t care? 

When through your silence too, you lay emotions bare!

You leave me confused – what you really think of me

One minute you’re distanced, the other you see through me

Why you can’t be simple, why you can’t stay sure?

Why you go away, and then again come back to lure?

Why I think of you, why the dreams are so vivid?

Why I start to wish even with my heart so timid..

Not asking for anything more, as nothing can be changed

But just knowing your true self, will repair the heart estranged!  

Yes, I was a fool, to not realise it back then, 

But even now you hold true meaning, in my life my friend

I desire nothing, which will change things for you

Just wish to see your feelings – bare and true!

So stay transparent with me, I can’t understand the tactics

Simple heart I am, have never ever acted!

Sometimes, I wonder if you’re punishing me?

But then the next moment I realise, how silly of me!

To not have you at all, will be better than having you distanced 

Stop pretending please, it is my friendly persistence!

I love the comfort you provide, even through your erratic presence 

That we’re far, but still related is an assurance! 

Do you also miss me, and dream of what could’ve been?

Do you also remember, the last time we had each other seen?

Sometimes I feel I am right there, sitting next to you

In a jiffy you’ll reach out, and hold my hand close to you

Can you also still smell, my perfume as I do yours?

Can you also verbatim, recall those close talks of ours?

I get reminded of that comfort, which I only felt with you

Whether it was sharing things big, or nonsensical ideas too

Do you also sometimes, feel lonely in a crowd?

Do you get excited too, when there’s a  possibility of me being around?

Yes, I felt alive when you were in my life

To talk to you, to meet you, my heart was in constant strife 

Can you also not hold back, to share with me even if in thoughts?

Can you also not sing without crying, those dedicated songs?

Will you ever tell me that yes, it was a mistake

To not say what we had in mind, and to so easily forsake

Do you promise to be mine, the next time you will be asked?

Do you promise to meet me soon, up there after we breathe our last?

Till then my dear though apart, I’ll reach you like sunshine

Till then I believe like Casper, around me you’ll be – always mine!

I never knew I’ll have to live without you

I didn’t know I had to learn this in life

I didn’t know I’ll have to tackle this –

Situation of not being your wife

There was struggle endlessly

There was strive throughout 

There was tension and misery 

So maybe we are better without

We saw happy times, sadly which were few

And then came a time, when you found else in lieu

Which couple doesn’t fight, who don’t go through rain?

Does that give you the right, to put my respect to shame?

Couldn’t stand the betrayal, no i couldn’t have let it been,

You gave so much misery, happy times were less seen

Yes, I do miss the company, yes, I do miss us,

But happy I am to see, that you’re not there to fuss.

You’re not there now when I need a helping hand

To handle home, or kids, to handle the day’s demands

Yes, I work double roles, of mum and a dad too

Yes, I struggle through the day, and sometimes shed a tears few

But I am stronger than ever and though at times I frown

But I’ll play this game, and won’t let it bring me down

I’ll raise our kids fabulously, I’ll give them the best to be

I’ll show them a strong woman, in tough times doesn’t flee

You chose to run away, to turn away from tasks

But let me tell you Mister, up there you’ll be asked

In life we all learn lessons, and yes, I’ve learnt mine

No one is there forever, we ourselves have to shine

I’ll live life to the fullest, I’ll be open to probabilities, 

No I won’t let your thoughts hinder, my future possibilities

You were mistaken if you thought, I’ll come begging and crying

You judged me wrong, for I won’t even when I’m dying! 

I know you came to teach lessons, and to give me some pain

Wish there was another way to learn, that’s the only complain

But I am strong, and I think I’ll always remain

If in this tough time too, I am keeping myself sane

Here I bid adieu, forever to you

Hope not to see you again, in life’s run

I did make a mistake by coming to you

But thankful I am, that now it’s undone!

So stay happy where you are, 

No, you’re not welcome back now

No apologies will be entertained

Even if very low you bow!

Tell me if I ask you to, will you hold me really tight?

Tell me if I ask you to, will you never with me fight?

Tell me even if I ask you to, you’ll never let go of my hand?

Tell me even if I ask you to, you’ll never leave me in any land?

Say it that you’ll love me always, only more if it’s possible,

Say it our love will know no bounds, no arguments will be plausible…

Say it that you’ll not stop caring, even when you’re angry,

Say it that you’ll always remain, for my love – hungry…

Promise me we’ll always love US, no matter what the circumstance,

Promise me we won’t ever get tired, of each other’s pranks…

Promise me we’ll not give up, even if life throws surprises,

Promise me we’ll try our best, to live with each other’s vices…

Yes, I know you admit to all above, for I see it in your eyes,

Yes, I know you’ll always hold true and will never leave my side…

There is true love in your heart, you show it through your actions,

Even if I would like to hear, I don’t doubt your love by any fraction! 

Blessed be US, blessed be love, may blessed be true feelings,

Blessed be those loving souls, may all hurt hearts see healing…

As I am rejoicing in your love today, may all experience such magic

As I join hands in prayers today, I just seek no end to be tragic!
