And there you are... I saw you again,
With all your blank stares up in the air;
Your thoughts then seemed in disarray,
As if you're lost... and out of nowhere.
You got distracted... and you gazed at me;
When our eyes met you seemed to be,
In a different world... that puzzled me,
How can I let you out of it... and be free?
Would I talk to you? I asked myself...
But you seemed aloof and scared,
I didn't want you to be startled;
So, I just sat down and zipped my lips.
After a while, you approached me;
And then smiled with hesitancy...
That is a signal, I guess;
You wanted a friend... no more, no less.
I invited you to have a short walk,
So little by little we can talk;
You agreed to it, I was relieved...
We could be friends, I told myself.
And that was how our friendship began,
And of course, it has ups and down;
But we managed to keep it going,
Respect and trust are the two major things.
All friendships have unusual beginnings,
Failures often times lead to sad endings;
When you find one... take care of it,
For it's a blessing, don't you forget!
