Old Friend or New

They say old is gold, new is gem
How do I judge which one is you
Somebody please ask them

If they say the measure is time since I know you
please tell them that doesn’t hold true
because with you the time just flew

It feels like just yesterday when we met
but the bond we share
says for ages we have been there

So how do I judge Please ask them

If they say it’s how well you know me
tell them like the other self I think of thee
but it’s the acceptance that you provide
to my unknown unrevealed side
which keeps the newness of our relation alive

The time spent with you helps me find in me something new
How can such a relation be old, so you aren’t  the gold
The comfort we share cannot be with all but only with significant few
How can a relation provide this if it’s still new

So to answer the Gold & Gem may be precious for them

For me it’s our FRIENDSHIP, which I cherish
to define it they will have to find another way
Because like the worldly things with time it won’t perish
And with unexpected it wouldn’t sway
