Oh my friend

           Chill wind blew in..

          through the half closed window.

          slowly, like an intruder!

          carrying the essence 

          of darkness! outside..

The tone, of lifeless waves

lapped in my ears.

It came in,slowly, slowly

without any haste.

I laid awake,cuddled

by its soft hands.

The wind made the balloons

dance in the air!

which laid on the floor

as the remnant,of a grand celebration!

I am happy..happier than ever!

sudden thoughts creeping over me,

of you,

who made me 'what I am'!

You helped me,in my troubles

as a dutiful friend

cared me,when I longed for it,

as a loving brother.

It was you,who gave me

a hand, at those sad nights,

But..I couldn't make you smile!

I learned from you,

the true meaning of life..

you taught me,the

first lessons of hard work.

And I listened, locked it safe,

to achieve a good tomorrow...

But, what happened between 

You and Me?

Love had nothing to do with it

neither hate!

I looked at the fading Polaroid 

photos, and

tried to believe they are happening...

But, you and me,not happening!

Iterating thoughts..tranquility!!

I still believe,

You'll one day, step into my life

like this cool breeze

and take me back

to those beautiful days !

Remembering you..
