For Times I Waited Long....... Poem by Areena Arora

for long hours I waited
for a friend true
for a friend like you
I waited long.
Then from a far off distance
I saw you
and found a true friend in you.
I wanted a friend who'd listen to my cries
wipe off my tears
without any lies.
In you I found
a friend who'd quietly listen to me
who's never about I and is all about WE
Such a friend I found in you
with an attitude so very true.
People said am crazy and am mad
they said things about me that were bad.
They found it awkward
because I found a true friend in a tree,
in you.
But how do I explain to them
I had no friend and I found you then.
A true standing so tall
above me and under the sky for times so long.
