Friends are special,
friends are rare.
Friends bring light,
when life's not fair.
They hold us through hard times,
when time passes us by;
morning to night,
starry or sunlight,
they color life vibgyor,
when shabby seems the sway...
Friends hold a special place in our hearts. Holding each other through pleasure and pain and motivating when one's morale is down; sometimes the involvement becomes so much that one forgets the difference between friendship and love. Love comes naturally between friends but its platonic nature maybe relative.
Love is giving unconditionally and as a child, one's heart knows no preconditions. Childhood romances are sweet and full of cherished memories. As children, all of us fall in fall with the first instance of a slight crush more under peer pressure than anything else. The end result is very different though. Life at that point is rosy and the love that blossoms voluntarily also dies soon if unattended. We all had a childhood sweetheart though few really have any memories when they grow old. They say out of sight, out of mind but contradictorily also, distance makes the heart fonder... Some memories survive, while some succumb to the inconsistent time gaps. Tender, docile, easily susceptible to any form of danger, love at this stage is carefree and as if by default; unlike love at a later stage when the heart has a better understanding of times. Childhood romances are detached, without any strings attached and most importantly the existing friendship never gets tarnished in case of an affair, if at all.
I still remember, while at school and while attending the final years there, crushes were a daily affair. Any kind of affection was taken as an act of love by the one receiving it. Love was in the air at all times and it was almost mandatory for all to have crushes! Those were childish thoughts but somewhere some friends did fall in love. Love at first sight, with a classmate or a college mate and dreaming into the wee hours of the morning.
Love matures and blossoms like a tender bud or a frail, fragile, cherub... With an understanding of the world and its complexities, we learn to appreciate the good, the bad and the ugly in life! These are testing times and we learn to differentiate between a mother's love and love for someone we just met. All romantic notions of love seem to shatter and life seems a dirty and messy affair. Heartbreaks and betrayals and so much of hatred. In the midst of all this, that one shoulder you cried upon becomes your life's support system. That friend just moves a step ahead and touches your heart before you even know it. The one you shared your love problems with suddenly seems indispensable and that too not in the platonic or friendly sense! Now the senses are back when unasked, unattended, a feeling takes full control of your heart and soul. Life seems fair and right all over again. Beautiful is the day and aims in life are visible and light shows the way. Memories of school buddies and college mates are the most beautiful and often the most painful too. Real and heartfelt affection once whose feeling lasts a lifetime...
Friendship is often circumstantial. For example, with a neighbor, a colleague at the workplace, chance meeting some place or personal conditions like widowhood, divorce or old age. Sometimes friends are a godsend. When we need them the most they come and hold our world together and prevent it from falling apart. Friendship and love go hand in hand. Love cannot stand alone, our better half is the one who understands us best. Also, love brings two lonely and lost souls together and it brings untold joys and happiness unheard of before. Love is divine, in any form.
