Just Friendships Day Musings

When I was teary eyed, agitated and lost
When I was bleary eyed, frustrated and lost
You offered me a glass of water.

When I walked into the dark night, wandering about
You played the music and guided me home.

When I wanted to stand on the chair and dance
You stood with me.

When I wanted a cab
You hailed me one.

When I needed company
You rushed along.

When I was tripping in heels
You carried them and walked me to the car.

When I wanted to sing
You sang with me, ignoring the strange looks at the metro station.

When I was scared in a new school
You promised to watch over me.

When I was ready to give up
You reminded me not to.

When I was happy
You made me euphoric.

When I was unsure
You held my hand and walked me through those moments.

When I was complicated and complex like a Rubik’s Cube
You solved me like a kid solving a puzzle.

When I was in the mood for something cold
You got me the ice tea though it was January.

When I was feeling magnanimous
You let me pay.

When I was feeling blue
You came up with a fusion on your guitar.

When I was a kid growing up
You grew with me.

When I felt jobless
You promised me a job in the near future.

When I felt normal
You brought out the crazy in me.

When I was done studying
You made me your teacher.

When I was sitting not quite hungry
You forced me to eat.

When I was conflicted
You made up with my brother.

When I was weird
You turned it into a friendship we will cherish.

When I was terrified
You told me the brake was under my foot.

When I wanted to discuss theatre
You blocked me tickets.

When I wanted to feel fairytalish
You agreed to wait under the clock.

When faced with identity crisis
Each one of these moments with each one of You made me realize
The best I could be
Was Me.


Thank You. Each one of You.
