The me in myself

I strongly believe that the word "Thanks" when used between friends heightens (if thts a proper word) and strengthens (this i know for sure is a proper word :P) a big wall between the concerned people. i had always been hard on my friends whenever i had to use it, or when they had used it.

So much for hte word, but the feeling of gratitude can't be hidden... especially when you wanna be thankful for having such a friend... Hence i instead of thanking my sweet friend who gifted me the poem (Refer post below), I gift him back with one i had written (years back... hence might sound less intense) - but goes well with my purpose :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Friend...
To you,
I say,
what my thought says- and
what my heart says.
And,
I find no inconvenience
in pouring out my heart
to your lending ears.

Friend...
In you,
I see,
half my soul- and
half my heart.
And,
I find no inconvenience
in letting my own self
resting inside you
rule over me.

Friend...
From you,
I get,
Shoulders to lean over,
mind and ears to listen.
And,
I find no inconvenience
in using your free mind
to rejoice myself.

Friend...
To you,
I give,
All the time I have- and
all the fun I can.
And,
I find no inconvenience
in being with you- the you-
who make me what I am.

Friend...
We ourselves,
though two different souls,
have grown together,
have been together.
And,
have never felt inconvenient
in getting along well.
For you know well-
"Friendship is life
It lives with us throughout"
And I know it too.

I loved the lines
"Shoulders to lean over,
mind and ears to listen.
And,
I find no inconvenience
in using your free mind
to rejoice myself.
