This poem was for Beetle Magazine.
Unfathomable, unpredicted chance meetings
that addiction difficult to abandon
Appreciating the aspiration to be similar
Thoughts that – Mirror Images
He came in a personal difficult time
Barren was my mind and soul
He gave life to me – assertion that
life is an assimilation of godsend realities
Adhesive so perfect
Soul searching ally
That attention – awakening my mind
those problems we did solve
those ambitions we have
anticipating moments with him
But Tired of asserting the non-attractiveness
its just trust, not lust
Friend who ascends you to the zenith
through knowledge and wisdom
Transcending you to a different world
reiterating that platonic does exist
He is a gem – so rare
Wouldn’t trade anything for the friendship
Intelligent and Genius are words that will shy
I am an admirer and will be forever
How is it even possible? you ask
Arousing interest in mind
All men don’t do
commend him for such a personality
Force of intelligence is more than attraction
It’s so easy to pen yet so difficult to express
the emotion I have for him
can’t abandon the adoration for once
Certain things are boolean
his friendship is with charm – but
benefits it is not
Days go by but our attachment is stronger
He knows me better than myself
He guides, reprimands
That is how life is meant to be
with him as a best friend forever
