Friend - Part 2

I don’t wanna fight with you,

Nor climb up your head – causing nuisance.

Don’t wanna break and construct you

Don’t wanna use you for anything.

 

Don’t wanna make you study or play with me,

Don’t wanna pick you up and then throw you down.

Neither darken, nor lighten, nor taking care of –

But, can you only be my friend?

Just my friend?

Only a friend of mine – nothing else.

 

I don’t wanna shake or stir you – like Bond’s Martini,

Neither twist nor mould you like dough,

Don’t wanna teach you anything,

For I have nothing – to do so.

 

Don’t wanna increase or decrease you

Neither icing nor melting your heart.

Nor asking to be just like me -

But, only a friend – is what I’m begging of you,

Please be my friend – this very day.

Only a friend of mine – nothing else.

 

I don’t wanna tie you up in one place,

Don’t wanna draw anything on your mind,

Neither open nor close you forever

Calling you since time immemorial!

 

I want you to go your own way

Tell me your opinion – on this absurd request.

Whether your age is eight or eighty – I don’t care,

But I beg you – beg you to be my friend!

Only a friend – nothing more I ask,

Only a friend – that’s it, and nothing else.
