💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Not all friends from high school or college remain in touch,
Despite how close we used to be and fun times we've had.
In the end, some of us part ways when some things get rough,
When the bond weakens, or when both choose different paths.
~*~
After all the times we chilled and enjoyed countless chats,
In spite of how they frequently made us smile and laugh,
It's bittersweet to note they're no longer by us loved,
Sensing mixed emotions each time we'd try to look back.
~*~
I recall how some of them and I wore bandanas,
Gave friendship bracelets thinking our gang would always last,
Teen magazines we exchanged, and DVDs we swapped,
Sports and group games we played, and funny jokes we laughed at.
~*~
Sad how some of us thought as adults we won't detach,
Yet as many years went by, most of us lost contact.
While some of them aren't found on Facebook, others lack
The interest to reconnect due to their own facts.
~*~
What often cause potential friendships to tear apart
Include: One-sided affinity, envy, mistrust,
Deceit, and one or both sides being jealous, biased,
Negligent, dishonest, or excessively attached.
~*~
Temporary friends teach permanent lessons - a fact
To remember when broken hearts feel like giving up.
Ex-friends taught me, with delight, Allah's Love is enough,
And Allah is the Only One we can truly trust.
~*~
So as days and nights go by, as I strive to stay tough
While relying on Allah, saying Dhikr/Du'as,
And patiently accepting Qadr, I know the past
Was decreed by Allah and His Love is just enough.
~*~
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Love whom you love moderately, perhaps he will become hateful to you someday. Hate whom you hate moderately, perhaps he will become your beloved friend someday."
