F,R,I,E,N,D,S

(They say having a best friend, sharing stuffs with them, makes you feel relaxed

Give me a reason to not have one, dude... FYI, friendship is not taxed!)

But I don't want anybody to share my life with,
I am a person to whom a best friend is just a myth!
I have a few friends whom I can chill with, in order to keep myself fit,
Partying with them is fun, and conversations about anything random in life, with them, are lit!

Neither I call them my best friend,
Nor do I have those forever promises with them,
But when someone asks me about my friends, they pop into my mind,
'Cos at present, to me, they are a gem.

In case of an emergency, if I ever need someone,
I know that in the near future, they would definitely come to my rescue, 
But I have that 'later future' in my mind,
I don't expect all of us to be the same, because, about departures, life gives us no clue!

I don't mean death by departure, but it could be the exit of a person from your life,
What really matters is that, at present, who's with you, and for whom you strive!

Having someone who is always there for you is impossible,
Everybody has their own life and their personal excuses.
Where would you go after they unknowingly crush your expectations,
A man becomes strong, but first, he breaks, when he loses!

Friendship is a tether between 2 ppl, but fate is a rodent that eats away the rope,
After all, the whole of the world walks on the narrowest bridge named hope!

(So, do you mean you've had a best friend at some part in your life?
By the above, it seems you've experienced the strife)

Having the best people around, I never thought, I would ever be left alone,
While one's passion drifted me apart, the other's jealousy kept us apart.
While one's too many expectations failed me, the other's attitude was sharp.
Time healed and emotions shifted, thoughts changed and now everything feels gifted!
Everything is temporary, but I don't complain 'cos the temporary is lovely right now,
Bye to the past, lots of love to the present, and to the future, I bow!
