A FRIEND..

A FRIEND IS SOMEONE
WITH WHOM YOU CAN BE YOURSELF

YOU CAN TELL ABOUT YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS
WITHOUT THE FEAR OF APPEARING TO BE BOASTING

YOU CAN TELL ABOUT YOUR FAILURES
WITHOUT THE FEAR OF BEING CONDEMNED

WHO ACCEPTS YOU THE WAY YOU ARE
AND MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF...

WHAT IF...

"WHAT IF YOU ARE GOING TO DIE IN SIX MONTHS ?"
A VOICE ASKED ME FROM WITHIN...

THOUGH IT WAS ONLY A THOUGHT
IT SHOOK ME THOROUGHLY

REGAINING CONTROL OVER MYSELF, AFTER SOMETIME
I REFLECTED
ON THE ENORMITY OF THE SITUATION

YES, WHAT I WILL DO THEN?

"I WILL LOVE MANY MORE TIMES
TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOST TIME"
MY HEART SAID...

TEARS TRICKLED DOWN MY CHEEKS
AND I WAS CHOKED WITH EMOTIONS

"DO YOU NEED TO WAIT TILL THAT TIME TO LOVE?"
ANOTHER VOICE FROM WITHIN ASKED

MORE TEARS AND MORE EMOTIONS
ERUPTED ON THIS REALISATION...
