I Still Remember.....

 

I still remember the day we met,
Two different persons with the same mind set;
Although I knew you since the high school,
But never trying to know you in the first place makes me a fool;
Interacting for the first time was just like talking to a fresher,
Believe me I never knew someday you'll become so special...

I still remember our first interaction that started with hi,
And it took no longer to bid goodbye;
Never thought that I'll go well with you,
But contradicting the statement soon it became true;
As the time flew by,
Our conversations became somewhat more than the usual hi;
And as it takes some time for a bird to learn how to fly,
Soon I started hating the frequently earlier-used bye...

I still remember when I started sharing things with you,
And soon the barrier of being strangers between us blew;
Found a true friend in you as passed the time,
And began sharing those secrets with you which earlier were just mine;
Liked to discuss things and know your view,
And trust me asking a girl for her no. for me was very new...

I still remember how your happiness became a reason for my smile,
And the first time when your sadness made my eyes wet for a while;
Don't know how you became my closest friend ever,
Leading my life further without you is the thing I'll think of never...

People say, to find a true friend you must have done a good deed,
I believe to find you I have done many indeed;
Now I feel acquainting you was my worth most try,
Losing your friendship is something which can happen only if I die...

PS: I originally wrote it some three years ago. While managing my files today, I found it in a folder and thought to share. I wrote it for a friend who has continued to share her valued presence in my life all these years and keeps on pushing me to take my writing seriously. So it's a memento for those old days, for her, for us and to my beginning as a noob writer/poet.
