Treasure Chest - II

This is another one of those phases which I would definitely like not to forget. during a comparatively smaller period than the previous one, in which I was almost alone, categorically saying, I had buzzed into one of those sweet little gems on the internet.. orkut, to be specific. Those days, virtual friendships were at an all time low in India, facing much hyped criticisms. But somehow our relationship clicked, and you know what? The following three pieces definitely describe the in-fact-best-ever-virtual-friendship ever experienced by me.


We've always been together,
we did everything with laughter,
we thought it was forever.
when I was in danger
you knew how to ease my fear,
you were always there to be my savior.
at first we were strangers,
until we came closer,
and now we are together.
but time flows like a river.
it became complicated and faster,
until we realized that we're older.
and that is what is keeping us apart,
I was here,
and you were there.
but I know we still care,
but our friendship slowly fades in the air,
how can it be so unfair?.
can "our past" be also called "our future?"
because I don't want to surrender
the memories we've shared together.

Rab mehar kare je sadde te,

Zindagi diyaan aashaan pooriayan hon...

asin har pal naal tere rahiye,

kadi dosti vich naa doorian hon,

Zindagi de kisi mod te asin vichad jaiye,

rab naa kare kadde eho jehiyan majboorian hon,

Naa apni yaari vich kaade fik pave ,

Apniyaan yaariyaan hi ennian guriaan hon...

I can't give solutions to all of this life's problems,
doubts, or the fears.
But I can listen to you, and together we will search for answers.
I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now when you need me to care.
I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp it and not fall.
Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.
Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you, and help you when you ask.
I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
and from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.
I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
and give room to be yourself.
I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.
I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend forever..


There was a day in this year that went unwished, mostly due to my wayward nature I guess. But November 24 is still not forgotten, I promise, it's there deep in a cupboard of one of those oft visited rooms in my heart. I don't know what the hell happened.. I was a little swayed by a beautiful mirage, true, but I always missed her right from the start! What a nice friendship we had! There was a time when both of us couldn't live a day without chatting on the internet for only 'bout an hour. Though this relation has become bleak now, I guess both of us still have a lot of longing for each other's companionship(literally). I just hope some good thing happens to our relationship now.
