Her best friend

Meeting an old friend was just like a dream, A friend, close to my heart in every way. And she knew Without a word Whatever I wanted to say. With patience she heard all my worries Shared my dreams and nightmares Talking about life’s bitterness and shining day I felt her there in every way. Never judged me for any deed, She felt the agony deep in my heart She embraced me with all my faults And stayed there all the way. She listened to me as air Silent and without interruption With all her courage And did not shy away She meant a lot to me, I wanted to feel her To embrace and let her know How her presence had changed my life. Perplexed and shocked I was The moment I tried to embrace, And touch the moisture of belongingness She was nothing but a mere mirror, Looking blankly though supporting And understanding me in every way.
