THE BOND OF FRIENDSHIP

- By SARAH KHAN

Walking through the life's Stark shadow

Will you embrace my imperfections

Wierd or crazy I maybe

I hope it's not a barrier to connections

Friendship is not about partying

Or merely hopping around the joyful times

Without an ounce of jealousy

Celebrate the victory with your partner in crimes

Of all the bonds that you have spent

Here I ask you, will you be my friend?

It's a flex to hang out with friends

People vanish when you need them the most

No matter how many tantrums I play

I want someone I can proudly call "dost"

One who respects my emotions

With whom I have nothing to hide

And act overdramatic or emotional

Nothing to regret and nothing denied

Of all the bonds that you have spent

Here I ask you, will you be my friend?

Friendship knows no genetics

Nor does it need a pretention

Well true friendship is imaginary

There's not even one I could mention

Proud to accompany me in public

Hold my hand and just be there

Without judging and making me insecure

Secrets and sorrows are here to share

Of all the bonds that you have spent

Here I ask you, will you be my friend?

Two as one, friends pledge their trust

Whether one is sincere, other is roaster

They don't leave each other's side

Whether on fights or emotional rollercoaster

Will you encourage me in my goals?

And support me in my turns and twists?

Does any friend really last long?

Or a perfect friendship doesn't exist?

Of all the bonds that you have spent

Here I ask you, will you be my friend?
