Letter to my Friend

O’ my dearest friend!
How I wish I could be with you to comfort you.
In times of pain & anxiety,
Is there anything I could do to help you sail through?

Whatever happened to you, my dear friend?
Where is that girl I knew?

Can we go back in time?
When things were simpler.
Probably there were things we worried about back then as well,
Now, as we retrospect they seem to be trivial.

Another few years, and may be these problems may seem of little importance as well.
Who ever said that life is fair? It was never meant to be my dear!
Be strong as a rock, shine like a star!
Rise above others’ unruly expectations,
And be the inspiration you’ve been searching for!

I know everybody is ultimately fighting a lone battle,
But please remember I will always be there for you.
We may be miles apart,
But I could always lend a listening ear or a faraway shoulder to cry on.

Please don’t worry my dear,
It’s just a matter of space & time mix.
Don’t be too hard on yourself,
And am sure you too will rise again like a phoenix!
