A Toast to True Friendship

Well ... we all have people around us. People who are our friends, whom we think we know and who think that they know us.

But, how do these relations come into existence, in first place ???
After all we are born naked, both from the body and the mind.
It makes me wonder ....

Who so ever we know now was a stranger to us at some point in time.
And then comes a time when we meet that person. We form an impression in our minds, just by the outer appearance. Its like having a physical template, where, in due course of time we place the traits of the subject.
Next, we hear the voice of the person. And our sub-conscious mind gradually starts relating to that voice.
Subsequently, we get to know the in and out of the person as and when we get closer ....
And finally, when we get keep getting closer to the person, there comes a point in time when we realize that we are actually in love ....
And love is not just between a boy and a girl, or a man and woman ... its between two souls .. when the twol souls eternally enjoy each other's company ... not merely physical, but transcendental .....

But, what if this process is somewhat reversed .....

What If we first come across a virtual identity, whose "physical template" we can just fantasize ??
What if we first know a person ... his/her thoughts, dreams, aspirations .... and then get closer and closer ... and become best friends ??
What if next comes the point when we hear the voice ... which comes across to us as being fascinatingly enchanting because of being so eternally close to the soul ??
What if next comes the point when we say that we are in love .... ???
What if we never meet that person ???

This short piece of poem is dedicated to my best friend and my soulmate ... whom i've never met ....


Chocolaty dreams,
Soothing moonlight.
Can I ever explain,
How bright you make my life ..

Delusional dreamwaves,
Crowd my mind.
Just one thought of yours,
Is a reason enough to smile.

Wasn't I running a race ??
Living a life of sheer pace ??
Thoughts galore ...

There are fewer times that are more relaxing,
Than my times with you.
There are fewer moments I am lonely,
Since I've found you ...

I'll keep it short,
I'll keep it simple.
As sweet as you,
And as expressive as a jingle -

I thank God for giving me you,
I'll take it,
For whatever pains he puts me through ...
Coz a friend like you,
Just stands for love and care,
I realize that I never had a doubt,
With the relation we share ....

Thank you ....
