I adore you

Here's the thing,
I don't fall in love,
Atleast not easily,
It's so slow,
I think I'd die by the time I'd know,
But I can hardly blame me for so;

You see the world has been so hypocritical,
I've met men who weren't man enough,
They never said what they meant,
And I thought that was how it was,
So when today you tell me otherwise,
I blush in joy,
But I question myself,
I don't know whether to trust you or no;

For the boundaries clear and sound,
I do not stay awake for any soul,
Unless you mean the deal to me,
So, yes, my friend, in your company,
I find solace, I find freedom,
Nothing beyond that do I crave,
But don't toy around with love in here;

Love's so sacred, so delicate in nature,
I do not wish for it to be measured,
To be faked, flawed or immature,
Love shall be a final word,
It breaks and bars at the same time,
The journey isn't easy,
For perfect we are not,
But are you ready for a lifelong vow,
To enjoy the fruits of love,
And stand by all thick & thin,
For then it shall be a journey I wait to take......

Are you serious. Do you think you mean it?

No hurry. No worry. You must make your choice wisely. You must choose your best bet.

As for a friend....a true friend is all I crave, one who supports me in my life endeavours regardless of what they maybe. I shall be the same, I have no doubt upon that. And still if you feel the very same way, you shall know, I'd be glad to have a friend as good as you for a lifetime.

Closer

For some of us,
The line marks our boundary,
Beyond that no human is allowed,
guarded we are,
Guarded the buds shall be;

In me emotions don't flow free,
In me they don't unravel,
I am the ice cold soul,
Who walks the earth with burden abore,
Steadily merging into the background;

And still once in a while,
Some of them notice me,
Their desire to learn exceeds their fear of me,
They learn the wistful contempts of me,
And peacefully retire to log them in;

The closer you get,
The harder shall it be to release yourself from deeper wounds,
The closer you are to harming me,
The more have I lent you unrequited trust,
The closer I have let you come,
The more have I risked being hurt,
The closer you've come to line of trust,
The better friend I called you thus,
And yet today you ain't there for me,
For you crossed the line but you forgot the purpose of it

The Friend In Need

Here's me,
The horribly used,
The horribly unused,
The terribly confused,
But the one who hasn't learnt to leave,
Unless it were for your good....

I've been strongly guarded,
But the friends I make are for a lifetime,
So, sometimes I end up in a mess,
A lifetime of friendship vs your well being,
And a lifetime of regret follows,
For I choose the later everytime;

You'd never understand,
And I'll never forgive myself,
We live in this constant dilemma,
And I am not the better friend,
Neither am I the lover who stays,
I am none and I keep the capacity of none;

Separated we are on terms of solitude and untold words,
When life screws us all over again,
I think of you,
My friend I could talk to for hours on end,
And yet I am restrained from reaching out to you,
For the wound hasn't healed,
And I play no balm's bet,
I yearned to be the friend in need,
But failed at it miserably,
If only you could see,
It wasn't all that bad,
That I meant good always,
And parted didn't have to be our ways;

To the friend in need,
I'll be there for you whenever you need me,
For I swore for a lifetime,
And you'll find me comfortably gone,
So the pleasantries aren't spent over me;

I bid adieu,
I bid not forever,
I wish the very best for you, always :)
