Let It Be

Like a budding life

New friendship needs nutrient to grow

But you can’t raise it by yourself

Care from the other party is also needed

You do your part

Providing due amount

Of goodwill and warmth

Then let it be

Save your tears

When it does not survive

Friendship is not bound

By contract

Maybe on a different route

Someone will come to hold your hand

And accompany you along the way

With trust and thoughtfulness

If none shows up

Enjoy your own company

Find solace in yourself

You can be your best friend
