Some friendships are born, from the vagaries of time and fate,
You are allotted the same hostel, or live behind the same society gate.
The more time you spend with each other, be it school or neighborhood,
The early shared moments ensure, your bond deepens for the good.
Sharing time and space is easy, but then life intervenes,
You move to different cities, events happen behind-the-scenes.
While the chemistry is strong, you've to put efforts to be connected,
Or else the withering of the bond, is only to be expected.
Friendships are not fragile, but they need rituals to sustain,
If you don't connect often, how will you share the others pain?
At work, take lunch with your friends, or go on a chai break,
Have breakfast every Saturday, and daily walks in your schedule bake.
Friendships may start with God's blessings, it's up to us to make them last,
So pick up the phone and call your pals, rekindle memories from the past.
