A Friend

Someone who understands you as you are

With whom, you are not trying - but are a natural fit

Someone who doesn't agree with you for sake of it

But, at least, catches your drift

Someone who helps you see through a difficult phase

Doesn't leave you, doesn't run and split

Someone who knows you are sorry, without your saying so

Isn't stuck on ego to move on and resolve a rift

Someone who understands when you need alone time

Yet, knows when you are lonely and need a lift, doesn't quit

Someone, with whom, you always carry on from where you left last

Even if, with time you too had gone adrift

Someone you call when in need

Who doesn't mind getting deep with you in the pit

Someone who is a privilege to have in our life,

A friend is nothing short of God's gift
