let's play.

there's this game,
which ive been playing for a very long time,
and im sure everyone has had a go at it too.
it's this little game we call friendship.

ive played this game my whole life,
and yet ive yet to figure out how it works,
what the rules are,
or even what it is!

is it to be a fren when ure needed the most,
when d road's a little bumpy,
or is it to be a fren when its all laughter and joy,
when the sky is blue and the grass is green.
or is it a little bit of both?

are we meant to tolerate the flaws?
and love them for who they are,
or are we meant to be close enough to be able to tell them of their flaws?

can we only remain frens if we see each other often enough?
or can we only remain frens if we see each other only once a year,
to not get annoyed by little things,
that eventually drive us apart.

im happy when ure happy,
and im sad when ure sad.
this statement, is such a cliche,
and cliches are cliches for a reason.
but is it really true?

if frens shud feel dat way,
wat about those hu cant help but feel miserable at the sight of ur success.
or find joy in ur misery?
are they not frens?

do u run over to be by their side,
when they re down,
or do u give them sum space,
n let them cool off,
before talkin abt it?

were the words "friends forever" meant to be an oxymoron,
like "hot ice",
filled with sarcasm,
or have i just been playing it all wrong from the start?

or is it for reasons like this?
that i compare friendship to a game,
that i just cant seem to find a clue.
n in this game, it's not fun to lose.

is it meant to be this complicated?
or are we making it harder than it's meant to be?
maybe it's all about the unspoken truth.
that its only human nature,
for us to feel the way we feel,
altho we re not supposed to.

so sumone pls hand me the manual,
or give me a hint.
there really shud b a frequently asked questions section,
or a set of rules when u google friendship,
but sadly,
there aint one.

so what do i do?
cos im just a lil confused.
and please pardon me,
if i get it wrong,
cos im still trying to figure it out.

i really wud like to believe that friends forever,
do mean exactly as it sounds.
