Who is a friend?

A friend is...
A push when you've stopped,
A word when you're lonely,
A guide when you're searching,
A light when you go blind;
A glass of ice lemonade when you feel thirsty,
A colour-drenched scene when you're in the dark.
A guarantee when you're uncertain,
A cheer when you fear,
A smile when you're sad,
A song when you're glad,
A sense of trust when you're in deep rest.

Arathie Chandramoulli, IX

Do we really have such a "friend"?
* * * * * * * * *
We are friends before being colleagues.
But we once were colleagues. Before we became friends.
That is another long story... "another", because we have a story now!
It is just that I am not so sure I want to write it down. Not online.
When you write screenplays or work in films you become afraid that somebody will "steal" your copyright, your idea, your story..
But I am sure nobody will steal this story from our memories.
We will always be able to tell it.
We will always hear the voices of the characters in it.
The people we know and we don't know.
The people whom we may or may never see again in our lives.
Those who helped and those who waited, and those who stood watching.
And of course those who hurt us.
And the biggest wound of all remains to "swallow"all the pain and shut up.
And live with it. And sleep with it every night and wake up with it every morning.
And, worse, dream of it in between.

PAIN.
Starts with a P, then an A, an I, and an N.

P like in Police, Pilot, Pills, Paint, Pissed off, etc...
A like in Airport, Arrive, Astonished, Asleep, Alone, etc...
I like in Inform, If, Insist, I, Idea, etc...
N like in No way, Nobody, Nothing, No way, Nobody, Nothing, No way, Nobody, Nothing, No way, etc...

That's it for Today!
