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.
