Friendship,
What is the real meaning?
How true it is?
Is it just a word?
Or is there any meaning behind it?
Friendship,
I thought we earn it through,
Trust, understanding, love and care,
Not money, not fame, not power,
It’s not easy for us to trust someone,
Neither is it easy for someone to trust us,
We tried our best to be understanding,
But how much do we really understand our friends?
We said we love and will always love them,
But how true is our friendship love?
We assured them we care and will always care,
But do we really care from the bottom of our heart?
We promised and made lots of promises,
But how many times have we failed to fulfill our promises?
Or how many times have we given them empty promises?
Friendship,
Before we part, we promised to keep in touch,
But do we really keep in touch?
Or is it just, "Hi, but I need to go, so, Bye!"
We promised to send emails, messages and smses,
But how often do we do that?
Do we realize that even a little beep on the phone,
Or a little message saying ‘I miss u’ or ‘Frens foreva’,
Means a whole lot to certain people?
Friendship,
It’s so easy for us to cancel our appointments,
It’s so simple for us NOT to keep to our words,
But do we care about the consequences?
Do we realize how we could hurt the people we promised?
Do we realize that people will NEVER trust us again?
Do we ever realize that it could actually jeopardize the friendship?
Friendship,
How often do we tell our friends ,
"I’ll always be there for u"?
Do we really mean it or is it just formality?
Where were we when they cried so badly?
Where were we when they needed a shoulder?
Where were we when they needed comfort?
Where were we when they needed a friendship hug?
Where were we when they were so down and sick?
Where were we when they needed us the most???
Friendship,
When we are in a relationship,
We are euphoric, happy, blessed and joyful,
But why do we have to change?
Why do we have to ignore people close to us?
Why do we sacrifice the friendships we have?
Why do we treat our friends differently?
Why do we need to pretend as if they are invisible?
Nevertheless, when we have problems in our relationships,
We turn to people we called friends,
They comfort, support and cheer us up,
But do we remember how we’ve neglected them?
Do we realize how selfish we’ve turned into?
Do we realize how jerky we could be?
Do we realize how much pain we’ve caused them?
Do we realize how we disappoint them with our stuck up attitude?
Just by the line, "Sorry, but I’m in a relationship now."
Friendship,
Too often, we take friendships for granted,
We might not know how much,
We hurt the people who care & treasure us the most,
We hardly realize our mistakes until it’s too late,
We are hurt when people said they hate us,
But do we ever realize the pain we’ve caused them?
Do we care how painful his / her heart is?
Even though we might hate a particular person,
But deep inside, we still and will always care and love them silently,
It’s so easy for us to say "sorry & please forgive me",
But how true are we when we said that?
Do we really mean it or is it just to please someone?
Does a sorry mean anything?
Can it ever mend a broken heart?
Can it ever clear the pain we’ve caused?
Can it ever wash away the guilt inside us?
Can it ever maintain the beautiful and meaningful friendship we once had???
Friendship,
How long will it take us to realize,
How grateful we are to have friends,
Who care about us more than themselves,
Who love us with their whole heart,
Who treasure us like precious diamonds,
Who are always by our side,
No matter how much we’ve hurt them¡
Friendship,
We NEVER realize how much someone means to us,
How important the things and advices they gave us,
How meaningful their support and encouragement,
Or appreciate their presence in our lives,
Until the day when u hear NO MORE from him / her,
Then, we’ll start asking "where, what, why and when?"
And saying, "I wished I could have told him / her earlier.."
Or, "I wished I could have done this or that earlier.."
Or, "I wished I don’t have to lie and just be true.."
How often do realize we will be too late?
We might regret for life for neglecting our friendships,
We will NEVER forgive ourselves for discarding our true friends,
We will even hate ourselves for treating them,
Like pieces of junk and ignoring them,
When they are actually wonderful ANGELS who,
NEVER fail to pray to GOD to bless us abundantly,
Hoping that we are happy and healthy foreva…
