Friend

When the heart does beat 

For one or none, it's no small feat

Hiding away myself, oh my dear

Out of nothing but for fear

Of what may be or what may not 

A night or day, my eyes bloodshot 

Far or near, the distance so clear

The pain nothing but a removable smear 

A journey in love, afar, begun in pain 

Temporary, a hope, forever, never a gain 

Hope, renewed, a star born new

A friend like you, oh, so few 

- Sachin 

Dime of Friendship

As I turn and stare at my past
All I see is fog swirling fast

Even as I am hurtling towards my future
Unprepared I am as I was before this torture

As time and fate play cruel games
Distance gathers importance over frames

Staring into the unknown like a fool
Alone we are standing by the pool

Even if the fog makes sense over time
Without friends beside, would it be worth a dime?
