Blessings

Ambience - Sunny and airy - Lord's day of rest

Mood - Lazy abandon, solitude and reflection

Looping - Yanni the Greek God of music.

When an introvert befriends you

You win a lottery of intense

Unconditional, dramatic affection?

Affliction?

You have an invisible umbrella of protection

Over your head

Stalking you with a silent, resilient armor.

When they put their guards down

They give you a medal of honor

They drive you potato chips with their clingy pesky presence

They cry your tears for you

Those embodiments of empathy.

They show up unannounced

With a grower's bunch and a hug

They barely speak, and when they do, they barely let you speak!

When an introvert befriends you

You have all your safety lockers penetrated;

They read you like a Hoarding

Conspicuously placed by the overpass.

You catch them in a crowd

Looking over you, jumping to aid

When they think you need it.

What's the need to speak up when you are studied to no fault?

When an introvert befriends you

You undergo a condition

Of overwhelm. Of absolute warmth.

They double up as the spare mother, as the pesky child

As a clown in a torture chamber :-D

Meaning well. To keep you laughing while they twist your arm.

They might be atheists, but they pray for you

They might be klutzy but they clean the house

They might hate cooking 

But they make you lacy, delicate idiyappams

Doused in coconut stew.

When an introvert befriends you

They give complex to their significant others

Constantly talking about you

Grinning ear to ear when they meet and part

And threatening their partners

That they'd name the house pet after you.

Or worse yet, their first born.

When an introvert befriends you

Your mission on earth is complete.

You experience what most human kind dreams about

Love - undiluted, unlimited, boundless and unconditional.

Fair warning - it's a calamity when they are angered

They don't open the door till your fists turn beet red

When they do, they bring out Vaseline 

And hot piping tea

And behave like nothing happened.

Weeks down the lane, as an after thought

They tell you, absentmindedly digressing over a intense conversation

That "that fight was a good thing."

As they feel a lot more closer to you after the show down.

Then you know you are doomed!

When an introvert befriends you

You'll be parched of verbal assurances, compliments.

"That's so lousy, you should do better"

They'd opine.

But by now you know how to read in between the line.

So steer clear of an introvert.

Don't try befriending them, it won't work that way!

Unless they confer the honor upon you.

By some strange stroke of luck,

But just if they do

My sincerest condolences.
