Love from Buddies

Amidst the mundane, routine lockdown day

When love from your buddies comes your way,

Wrapped in an unsuspecting newspaper

Without giving itself away:

A bright smile lights up your face,

Makes it glow like a 1000 watt incandescent ray;

When love comes from buddies

You realise they are neither far, nor away,

Just quartered for the moment in a separate bay.
