I feel for my friends who are going through a rather rough time at the moment. To all going through a hard time, I shall dedicate this poem to you. You know who you are..

I hope you know, things happen for a reason.

I hope you remember there’s a light at the end of the tunnel

No matter how bleak you feel the situation to be.

I hope you remember the last few battles you’ve fought,

How scarred you came out of it.

Most of all, I hope you remember that you survived them all.

You came out of it stronger and best of all, wiser.

Look back at the past if you must

but only to remind yourself of your strengths.

As I listen to you,

you expressed defeat, loss of hope,

let me give up  were your silent unspoken plea.

I couldn’t panic with you

and tell you this is indeed the end. We don’t want to say that out loud!!

We know what the answer is.. We know what I am supposed to say.. and so I do it..

I lie

I lie to your face..

I told you it’s all going to be okay.

You’ll get out of this maelstorm

You will get through it and there will be silverlining.

I had to  because you needed me to be.

Why? I have no idea what the future holds?!! Far be it for me to

gaze into the crystal ball and give you the answer! But still…

I tell you everything is okay..so that I watch you go through yet

another battle where you fight on alone..

Here’s where the line is drawn.. between the true friend and foe..

A foe watches with glee and wishes u fail and give up for good.. and gives you

the attention needed so others think the foe was for real.

The friend is more dispassionate.. more cruel..

The friend is actually making you go through all the pain and uncertainties again

and knows what happens when you get disappointed again

and we wonder again if this time,

you emerge a victor or come back to me; the friend..your placebo

I can’t do poetry often. It happens once in a purple moon. Yes more rare than the blue moon. I just hope you will remember, distance is only a mathematical measuring tool. No matter where I am, I will always be there for you
