Prayers for a friend

Dear friend,

I just wished to say hello. Both of us are busy with our lives and I regret not being able to spend quality time together. Al though, you are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Each day, I pray hard. I pray for a simple and fulfilling life. Each day, I think hard too. I understand what Leonardo Di Caprio has said in Blood Diamond. “Will god forgive us for what we have done to each other? Then I realize God left this place a long time back.” I still pray.

I pray, not only for me but for the happiness of my loved ones. You are among those select few. It is important you know this. I pray that wherever you are, you be safe, secure, healthy and happy.

I love my life. I am happy in the belief that everything around me is fine. I believe that even though my friend isn’t around she/he is just alright. That is what keeps me going, puts a smile on my face.

If you ever feel unsafe, insecure, unhealthy or unhappy, call me. There may be 200 people you could call but I would never ignore you. Whenever you call me or meet me, whenever my phone displays or flashes your name, I smile. I feel glad. Wherever I see happiness, I think of you. You have brought unbridled joy to my life. You have enriched it. I have but fond memories of the times we spent together, danced together, laughed together and cried together. I shall never forget you. We may be a thousand miles apart, but I’ll always have you in my heart. Remember that.

Your friend,

Kartik.
