As the phone entered the third ring
The little hope left flew away
Once again, she was not there
No messages returned, no call back, just silence
For three days in a row
Is it seeking peace in self silence?
Or dwelling in greener pastures
Is it so demanding to even just whisper a simple hallo?
There seemed to be no excuse, just hypothesis.
On the verge of giving up, she found her heart of hearts
She poured through books and novels
Passing through the words in a Novel
Her value for friendship was once questioned
Even though the care was not forthcoming
And she was taken for granted, a backup or a second wheel
She had to make a decision, to redefine the word friendship
Willing herself overboard
Above disappointment
Beyond the negligence
Over the empty space within her
She promised to stand by him
Because the bonds of true friendship were strong to ever be savored
They were meant to hold for ages
As they were meant to hold each other through the storms.
