I had friends,lots of friends,
many left and many others..left sooner.
So,this time,I took a friend on rent,
forever to stay;
and in return,I just have to pay.
It was easy for me,
since my only friends were money and four naked walls staring at me...
They were nice friends,
they are nice friends.
The Wall- a good listener;
Money- bought me happiness and today a well wisher.
But then I always missed something in them,
something human,as important as freedom.
They...they were never jealous of me..no ego..no self-esteem
and never jealous.
You see, a well wisher does not wish well always..
I see it as a nice part;
keeps them alive,makes us human.
But now I have this friend of mine ,
who is happy when Im happy;
And who thinks its his smile which makes me smile,
but actually,its something in his eyes,hidden behind his smile...
