Random

12 - Friends?

I know you, you know me

We know each other

We say we're friends,

But in reality, not completely.

From simple preferences

To major decisions in life.

From mannerisms

To hobbies.

We talked about random things.

We agreed and denied each other.

We were the 'best of friends'

Or so we thought.

We know each other

Only by the surface

Even so, we told ourselves

'We know each other well'

This friendship was not fake

We were real with each other

There were no hidden agendas

Yet, we failed to nurture 'us'

We got stuck in the primary stages,

We failed to advance,

We did not share our grievances,

We hid the despair and sadness.

We failed to be with each other emotionally

And drifted our attention to the physical ones

Only by each others' sides when morning

When the night conquers we forget.

Deep within our hearts we yearn for a love

But we don't make the effort to get.

Since, at the back of our minds we think,

"She seems like the others."
