And what do we call that?

We sing, we dance, we cry and oh we fie together! What we draw from each other are strengths so intrinsically valued and precious that we can do without them as much as meat can do without salt. We conceal in each other our trials of constancy and receive secrets from thy princes and queens of our hearts that we hope will always be there. But they are many, but yet, sometimes, few and far between. We are sometimes, nothing more than appointments to each other, yet when it is all right, we are indeed, far from anything less than what we keep on our minds, and hearts together.

Friends. Friends! Friends?

Sometimes the bonds we form seem so strong but they fall apart when distance rears its ugly head. Occasionally new friendships seem so promising but their potential is never fufilled. Once in a blue moon we meet friendships that never seem to work out no matter how much stolid effort we invest zealously and when we have so many friends at every angle we can't help but feel so alone at the oddest of moments.

I guess, friendship, is something that needs chances, something that needs effort, and of utmost importance something that requires that certain level of chemistry to get it going. That, is probably the reason why different people click and connect with personalities of a parallel nature and the most curious thing is that nobody ever knows why.

Friendship then, is surely a chance we have to take. Best of life, farewell, since we must part someday. We just fervently gaze at the heavens and wish that beautiful friendships come to stay, but alas, only a few do, eventually. Therefore with all the love we can give and conjure for our friends, we must, for friends are the most important people in our lives that come along besides our familes!

Take a gamble and throw a dice. Worries do come but they present themselves with the ultimate resolution of getting alleviated and resolved, no? I guess, we must always identify with a few friends that we know with all our sincerity and heartfelt conviction that they will be there for us to brave the rain and storm, to indulge in the loving rays of the sun's warmth and to weather weal and woe together. We may fight, we may quarrel, but as long as we never drift apart, things will be fine.

I think, the most painful thing that one could scramble out of in a dreadful friendship pit is the very process of drifting apart over time that is blatantly irreversible. Like a clock or a watch that's missing from our frames we never know we're grown so far apart till one day we meet again. It is painful, and many of us have gone through that at some point of time in our lives. But effort, and perhaps, only mutual effort can help it all?

Then again, there are friends we treasure, that we may seldom, if ever meet because of our hectic schedules, but the sheer chemistry and bond of the friendship keeps it estatically going. Have you ever not met a friend for a few months but memories and chatter still remain excitingly poignant? There may come a time when we have friends whom we can sit beside quietly, and yet know what is whizzing or pausing through the other's mind. That, is one magic of friendship that comes out of familarity.

If there's one thing other than family that we all couldn't do without, it has got to be friendship. It's indeed the only ship that doesnt sink, doesn't break, and yet keeps people together on a common space in our hearts, where we all secretly belong. (:
