My Friend

I remember the day I first saw her.

The memories are yet so sharp in my mind.

It must have been a bright sunny day after a summer break.

A new session to start, new class to begin and new things were all.

I entered the class with anxiety and nervousness.

As all of us were re-shuffled.

I saw her sitting right at a corner seat.

Gleefully smiling was she, so friendly it seemed to me.

She was plump, her cheeks with a bump.

Long shiny hairs she had.

We were made to sit together.

Since then we are still together.

A complete year we spent accustomed to the same bench.

But this was how we grew so close and the best friends.

We laughed out loud, Shared each other’s lunch.

Though we were different, but this really didn’t make a difference.

There came day when we were separated.

It was like aged long lovers being separated.

She was a darling to me and yet she is.

Though miles away we are now, yet hearts so close by.

It’s now nine years down the lane.

Yet she is that my one special friend.

Who is there besides me in my need.

Physically may be not but yes emotionally she is.

This a little dedication I had for her.

Because she had been baring me all, with so much patience.

She knows it I am tough and tempered at times.

But this is how she is, and angel in disguise.
