Stand-by


Stand-by
"Honey, I need this",
"Sweetie, can you get me that?",
 "Darling, could you please accompany me here?"
"Sugar, you are so wonderful"
Every minute, every second,
Honey this!
Darling, that!
Ooh, oh, so when do I get to be the 'friend',
I'm always standing in for someone,
I'm always a stand-by.
When the 'friend' hurts or betrays her,
That's when I become of some importance,
That's when I'm seen as a 'friend',
A 'friend' for a second.
Once the problem is solved,
Our friendship goes back as old,
And I go back to being the stand-by.
I'm always cleaning up another's mess,
Nursing the wounds inflicted by another.
I'm almost hurt
But thanks to God
For being the best friend I could ever have,
For giving me friends 
To erase all this hurt,
Friends to treat me as 'friend'.
I'll always be a comforter
To a soul that needs comfort
No matter how I'm treated.

My Plea to You

My Plea to You.  You made me smile  Yet my heart was with someone else. I hurt you  But you were still there for me. You showed me more  Care and concern than anyone else  But I still couldn't love you I kept asking myself, why?  Why you? Why couldn't I love the one guy Who's ready to go the extra mile for me?  Is there any problem with me? Is it that I'm blind to see? Or deaf to hear?  Or dead to feel?  I'm sorry I couldn't love you the way you wish I should. I'm sorry you couldn't call me Your own. It hurts me more  Than you can imagine  That I couldn't love you. I promise to be there for you Whenever you need me As long as God grants us life. This is from the deepest part of my heart to you. I love you- My dearest friend.  Dedicated to You.

First Christmas Together Apart

First Christmas Together Apart I remember the very moment we met, It’s a memory so priceless And can’t be shared with Simple words. I remember when you said The “words”, I laughed for no reason; They were not funny, But I just couldn’t help myself. I remember my reaction when You sat beside me for the first time, I discovered I had butterflies in my tummy. Our conservation was so freely flowing Like we had known each other from Adam. I wish the moments we shared never ended; The days were longer than 24 hours, There were no seas to put such A long distance between us. I dream of a season and time When our clothing is the only distance That stands between us. Ur journey has been lovely and beautiful With a few ugly bumps on the way. The Christmas season closes in so fast on us. I can’t wait for the day when We would shop for the perfect Christmas tree, And spend the whole nights decorating it. The night which would be filled with ...

I Just Know

I just know Today, I smile There are trillion of reasons to smile Or to laugh. The joy I feel inside can’t be expressed with words. A tiny little bird once whispered to me, “You will just know” And true to these words, I just know. Despite my all efforts in denying it for a long time, I just knew. I did ‘things’ due to this denial, All I got was cuts and bruises, Very deep and nasty ones. But just one day, All made sense, My denial made very conspicuous things Very blur before my eyes. Just then, It was very glorious, Like a colourful garden of pretty flowers in spring. I just didn’t want to sleep anymore Because my reality was sweeter than my dreams. Do you believe in “magic”? I never did till “that day”. I smile whenever I'm reminded of “that day”. I haven’t still found words To document this occurrence. Writing about love Is more of trying to explain Who God’s parents are. Or trying to describe An indescr...
