Dear first cousin,

You said my friends won't be there for me if I don't win.

There's a very good chance that you are right.

But it would be because you stopped me from making friendship tight.

Whenever my friends planned something, I pretended to be sick

Cause you told me not to go on "silly" picnic.

Since I am an only child, you are closest to a sibling I have

But do you have any idea about me, my likings, my fave?

Do you know I am allergic to my favourite food?

Do you know I love writing poems? No dude!

Where were you when I needed a shoulder to cry on?

Why, at a party with you guys, I feel left-out and forlorn?

Do you know who stood by me when I felt lonely?

Those very friends about whom you think so lowly.

Speak against them again and our relation ends

Cause rather than you, I choose my friends.

A/N: This scenario is not applicable in case of joint family because in case of joint family cousins share a really close bond. So, many of you may agree to this one.

Anyways, comment what you think. And please vote if you like.

And dedicated to Mistique_PS coz she is my "kandha" friend. :-p
