A FRIEND INDEED...
I could count on him, to be there, in my roars and my sighs, in my lows and my highs... I would get a glimpse of him in all my "Heysss" and "Good-byes"...
He would Never be amazed or awestruck, by my silliness/wisdom he would never be surprised; being the witness of me performing the 'Phoenix-play'—my "Goodness" or badness would just seem to him overpriced...
He might push me to do the Loot, and demand equal share of the spoil; he might go lazy as a slug and feast on the returns of my toil...
He might be "naive" as a dumb and at times too "complex" to make me go numb;
he might be as "cheesy" as a gum, yet he would be there when the time demands and no one else would come...
He could be "nosy" with the longest snoot, & as itchy as a bite of my new boots... he might be rude at times and still seem cute, my true friend happens to be the strength of my roots!
"A friend in need is a friend indeed",
rather than a drag he would give me the speed...
He might go dumbstruck and listen— when no one else would pay the heed, that "Friend of My Imagination" is all I seek and all I need...Is all miss & alI I need...
