Have you ever met someone for the first time and you just have this urge to befriend that person? Well, I have and this person is now one of the closest true friends that I'll ever have. In life, some beautiful friendships tend to form in the most unpredictable places at the most unexpected time. Try recalling a friend whom you've made when you're waiting for the bus at the bus stand or while you're waiting for the commuter at the subway station. Or perhaps while you're eating alone in a restaurant or strolling in a park. Maybe, in a book store, CD shop, cinema or when you're attending any seminars, workshops or religious events. =)
So, here am I, dedicating a poem which I've composed for my kalyana mitra. Cheers to our special friendship and may it have many more years to come!=)
Kalyana Mitra
Three years ago,
I saw a tall lad in his black Polo,
He was on the cover of a brochure,
All I thought was, 'Mr. Mysterious must be popular.'
I didn't know his name back then,
Until I found his Facebook profile,
I was keen to know more about this man,
Hence, I started on a journey of a thousand mile.
Every step I took,
Wasn't driven by his good look,
But by a force so strong,
That it would be wrong,
To take so long,
To realise it's our destiny,
To be each other's buddy.
Friendship is like a seed,
You have to water it constantly,
Get rid of the surrounding weed,
And it'll blossom beautifully.
Three years later,
Here we are, becoming closer,
Looking back on my 1st step,
To narrow our friendship gap,
I would say it's a sweet success,
Filled with pure joy and nothing less.
Let's make a toast,
Wherever we are,
Be it the West or East coast,
Be it near or far,
May our comradeship last till our future generation,
And be passed down to our kids and grandchildren!
Dedicated to LZ
