I still remember the moment, when the ice was broken <br />We smiled at each other, although just for a token <br /> <br />There was no mutual liking, but often we met still <br />As we had nowhere to go, and both had time to kill <br /> <br />Initially we were so keen to establish our status <br />And so we talked only good things about us <br /> <br />Steadily and gradually we slipped into comfort zone <br />Two separate entities now always felt like one <br /> <br />We shared our joys and shed together our tears <br />Leant each other our shoulders in disappointments and fears <br /> <br />We were taking steps into the blissful bit by bit <br />Never knew when our friendship turned into a habit <br /> <br />You always tagged along wherever I wanted to go <br />Into thin air dissipated our ego <br /> <br />Then arrived the moment our career had to start <br />Challenges of life had done us cruelly apart <br /> <br />Though in separate ways our lives carry on <br />Deep in our hearts we know that the journey goes on….. <br /> <br />The journey goes on…… <br /> <br />02 August 2009 - Friendship Day<br /><br />Ravi Singh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/journey-called-friendship/
