The way people relate to one another has changed. Now the emphasis is more on social distancing. We find ourselves more in parks and open spaces. Friendships have taken a toll.

Like a freshly arrived spring after a gloomy cold winter,  Like a newly made tune after a ruckus of numerous trials,  Like a clear blue sky after days of heavy shower, You exude an energy so comforting and pure.

There is some good feeling when you are with me We might irritated each other but we are there for each other Life is nothing but a flow of energies that we share The time I spend with you are precious treasure of memories.

From the very first time that we met,  You left a mark in my heart I won't ever forget,  Oh, you beautiful friend, do you know, maybe? How much I admire your candor greatly!

I thought, because we have been friends so long. We don't have to say things. I would show you the signs. And you would return the smile.

Today felt guilt when I reminisced your cry Wanted to console you that day but was too coward to try Assumed you wanted to be on your own So never asked you if something happened and why?

I still think of you I keep wondering that how are you? The heart still beats for you Though we do not talk like when we knew.
