Bitter or sweet friendship?

Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace. -- Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet, 1923

Ever wonder if one day friendship just changes?
Ever wonder when any relationship can change from sweet to bitter in just seconds?
Ever wonder if one day the ones closes to you will be the one furthest away from you?
Ever wonder if friendship was not as you expected?

There are many who keeps their anger and sadness in them without telling a single soul. Some are too shy or scared to speak out the words in their hearts and keeps them away. This may be called cowardly but not many can pull this method out especially to their close friends.

There are many who are happy and fulfilled with the friendship they have with them and goes along with whatever they themselves agree with. They speak out what they like and always state what is to be done.

Friends are people who stick to you no matter what happens and this type of friends are not easy to be found. Many took others as their other soul, a friend in need but not many succeed to the end.

I took a friend as my other soul but little did i know what i've done throughout the years have been a pain and disappointment. Each change i made tattered our relationship little by little without me knowing anything. The hurt that i caused all this time was closed deep in the heart of my friend as we continued to be together. There never was a peak or whisper of the pain until one day when all was lost.

The pain, the hatred, and the truth all came out. Nothing ever strucked to my mind that all this has been kept or even thought of before. Things became a mess, ignorance shoved into my face, anger and sadness burned in both our hearts.

Things started lightening up when it came to conclusion that we needed to talk. After a long process of ignorence we had our confessions. I felt a sight of relief and happiness after we reunite but no matter how the relation has been tattered and there was some parts where we can never mend. 'Sometimes it is better to leave the glass alone then to try mending it and get hurt in the end.'

I hope that our relationship will stay strong again once more but a part of me has a bad feeling about it. One things for sure we both have learned a valuable lesson about each other and will do our best to prevent all from happening again.

What prices friendship?
Quiet giggles in a corner
Shared jokes
Laughter and Yeats over a samosa
Bust-ups and making up
Those were the days when anything went

Angry words soon forgotten

Insults that never stuck
Fights and arguments the norm
But the feelings remained the same

Time passed

People changed
With it, the nature of friendship

Words became barbs
Looks did kill
Patience and love, non-existant.
This isn’t friendship

This isn’t relationship
This is nothing.

And so,
here we are today,
asking what price friendship?
