Unspoken Bonds.....

I stand here yet again....
Looking at that familiar face
In my reflection
I smile and say
"I love you for what you are"
And she smiles right back at me
Happily saying the same.....
I look into those eyes
A sparkle I see
Which had been lost
Over the seemingly unending time
Lost in understanding
Where I was
Why I was what I saw....

Not too long ago
I saw a silent soul........
A frowning face, those spark less eyes
A broken heart
And decaying confidence
Failing to recognize herself
Amidst a crowd of faceless strangers.....
She stood right here
Staring at someone
Who had lost a countless times
In the game of life.....
The mirrored image failing to please her mind
Unanswered questions
Haunting her day and night
Like running aimlessly in the wild....
Meaningless tears and thoughtless hours
Wasted,spent in vain
Yet identifying herself
Was for her,an unbearable pain
Knowing not where she headed
She felt,"Its time I quit the game
Coz no matter what
I am destined to lose
I never did win this play....."

Yet as she turned away
Without thinking about a last try
A quiet call stunned her
"Are you going to die?"
She turned back, and he stood there....
A someone she barely knew
A little too scared
A little too shocked
She knew not what to do
It came again and sunk into her
"Are you going to die?"
She nodded a yes, firmly this time
But did not look into his eyes
"You will not do this
You are hurting me,don't you know?" he said
She stood there lost more than ever
For now,she realized how many she left behind....
"You can't do this to your friend", he said
And quietly her path, he led
To a new world, where the lost girl
She could never find.....

And yet again I stand here today.......
Pondering where I left that girl
How I came all this way....
I have nothing to give to that smiling face
No grateful words to say
He will always be someone,that tranquil soul
For whom I can't thank God enough....
All I have for you my friend,
Is just a little heart filled with love
And as with passing days
I grow of you,more fond
My heart cheers with happiness and fills
With respect for our unspoken bond......


Dedicated to one of my best friends...
