Superficial friendships

Life spins us in different directions

There being no end to the quest

Of exploring new journeys

We're fast & unstoppable

We meet and greet new characters

We end up playing some roles

There are times we redefine our originality

Indeed to merge with the flow

Cool hashtags and updates

There are glimpses of fun

More moments and feelings

But a mere new photo or a pun

Interesting faces, beautiful people

There is no shortage of those who amaze us

Shortage exists though, not just another one

Lack of real gemstones, just a handful of some

Somehow we lose them, in our race to the throne

We battle with our instincts to give up the ‘gone’

There're stupid conquests, of winning new hearts

We barely manage, those backdated parts

Folks who were once our besties and mates

Today we skip those heart-felt beats

There's a hasty chase

To the superficial ‘next'...
