As I sit behind my lap top
With my fingers on my tap top
Scrolling up a picture I pondered
Reading his profile I wondered
Achieving my aim....friends we became
As time ticked on....flame was gone.

Like riding on a shipwreck
Our friendship became a recheck
I waited in vain.......so I texted again.
"Can you read my book?". I say
"Something I wish I could". He say
Opportunity rising up the game....... continuely sparkling up the flame.

His presence made me complete.
With smiles as I walk down the streets.
I don't need any person..... anymore on my side
For as long as he is......I can face the tide
I share my ideas....he tells me his thoughts
He shares his thinking....I tell him his faults.
Playing around like children in the rain
With nothing to lose neither to gain

An annoying friend I know he can be
A cool friend he knows I am to see.
Talking about life and it's plight
Till the sun was no more in the night

He says, tell me everything,be raw,be unfiltered.
But not everything he says is to the core. They are diluted.

I stayed with him throughout his fast
But didn't break with me when the time was past
I stayed hungry till it was daylight
While he eats everything at midnight
Then he comes with a complaint.....
"I want to loose some weight"
I didn't want to care cos I was a witness
But I couldn't just stare so made it my business
I offered to help....to sit on his back as he push up
But my vim smelt.....his intentions to make me fall rise up

"I'm terrible at flirting"
But his words are always flipping.
With certain kinda potholes...with me walking half blindfold.
Setting my curiousity on edge
I began to pull his legs

A connection of sweet emotions
A feeling of deep devotions
But I can say...to my
Annoying,cool and a mixed bag of so many personalities.....my friend
That he is amazing.....not forgetting his biased self

I wrote this for my best friend, Lugman.
