Friendship, Ego and all that's in between

Don't expect to be known as your friend's best friend
Realize this & your friendship will never end
Be that backbone that cannot be seen
For you're the one on whom they can lean

Friends have a common enemy we call "ego"
Even knowingly sometimes we don't let him go
Don't feel the need to prove anything to your friend
Leave it to time and we will eventually comprehend

Don't pass your childish misunderstandings to your child
Trust me - kids are more mature to get us reconciled
Maintain your distance even with your closest buddy
At times your own solitude will keep you steady

Cliches abound all around us
Epigrams may still sound superflous
It is our own falls that help us learn
Only if we reach out, will our friend return

I'm right and you are wrong!
With such a duet how can we get along
Of what purpose is being in feeds and timelines
Talking with bland emojis and innumerable signs

As long lost buddies, we may not even talk
Our silence and imagination, together, still go for a walk
Be beside Your close friend while he coughs his breath
While it's okay for you to jive alone with Mr. Death!
