Online Friend

Miles away from your town

Too far to visit

But so close to heart

and always there with you

When ever you are in need

A new digital age friend

or say online friend

Met somewhere in the big internet highway

At some forums or chat rooms

While time passing around

Starts with a hi,hello etc

Then slowly gets into

each others personal lives

Like two people separated by a giant screen

Words,speaks for itself

Before the voice and faces

Starts feeling each other

Without even meeting in real

In short span of time

Friendship grows like a big tree

Rooted inside the hearts as a part of life

Meeting every day through messengers

or mails or social networks

Sharing each others experiences

Shelling out all the jokes and laughter together

Online friend,

Someone who lets you speak,your heart out

Expressing the hidden pain

Unravelling the glories,memories and dreams

Unravelling the plans for the future

Some times like a mentor

Gives vital advises,when you go wrong

Sometimes like a peace keeper

Keeps you calmer

When anger gets hold of you

Some times become sister or brother

Sharing intense bond of love

True to be someoneone whom

You can depend upon

Friendship of souls

Excitement and anxiety

While waiting for the first glimpse

of the dear online friend

Its like awaiting for a beautiful present

Listening to the voice

Gives the feeling that

The distance is nothing much

Friend is out there hundreds of miles away

While watching through the webcam

It feels like,he or she is right beside you

In the comfort of home

During nights and free times

Now the world is bigger

With online friends filling the space

Hanging out together

In some cool virtual parties

3d chats lets meeting together

Like in animated movies

Sipping coffee together

Or walking together on beach

Or simply talking inside home

With cutting edge softwares

The possibilities of fun with friends are enormous

Online friend is someone

Who lives so far

But keeps you on track

Through words of magic

Consoles when tears breaks down

on your cheeks

Tries every card in the world

to cheer you up

Spends hours after hours

A chemistry that is undefinable

Now,online friend is just like family members

or the real friends you get to see

Someone who is a link to another society

Breaking the shackles of misbeliefs

And spreading the message of togetherness

No matter where they are.
