A longstanding wish

I opened my eyes. The swaying motion reminded me that I am on the train. The sun had just set. So you'll probably see the sky as a mix of indigo and cyan with a pinkish hue. I'm annoyed now. The person in the seat in front of me can't be bothered to keep his voice down. At least his friend tries hard to whisper loudly. Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. I'm in the quiet coach. And i need sleep. Instead, I focus my attention to the view outside. Appreciating the meadows and wild yellow flowers before it gets dark.

I look at the medium latte I bought at the station. It remained untouched since I bought it. Why did I buy it then? Its a question to me as well, mind you. I look back outside.

Oh no, its pitch black. I can only see dots of orange and yellow. Street lights.

Hearing that distinct hearty laughter made me wish. I knew they were laughing about someone.

I wish

There are friends who don't talk behind another's back when said person is not around.

Friends who don't take sides

I wish I'll never be like that. I wish I am a good friend.

Am I?
