Beautiful indeed were those days
A carefree and fun filled phase
All by ourselves
With nothing else to bother
We played all day
And the world seemed faraway
Day nor night
Blazing sun nor pouring rain
Ever acted as a deterrent
As we ventured out everyday
Hand in hand we roamed the streets
Playing mischief with conceit
Cruel can be fate sometimes
Leaving you alone with no one by your side
From a moment of togetherness to aloofness
It all happened so quick
One morning
I was getting ready for our routine outing
I go and knock on her doors
Waiting for her to open
So that we could rush out with fervor
That morning was however different
There was an uncharacteristic gloom in the sky
With dark clouds engulfing the bright sunshine
The door opened
It was her mother
Your friend is in the hospital, she said
My legs started trembling
My stomach was cramping
What had transcribed by the night
I had no clue but I could sense
Something bad was about to come
I prayed for her return
I prayed for my sense to be wrong
For I could not sense a world without her
She returned back home, albeit dead
She was plagued is what the doctor had said
She was cursed is what the people said
I cannot describe the feeling I had then
Helplessness was engulfing me into death
Life for me was becoming a living hell
She was special for me
Was she only a friend to me?
Or was she something more?
It was hard for me to tell then
But as I look back at it today
I feel we shared a feeling
That got a new flame with her death
Time has an interesting way
Even as it flies by
It keeps the memories lingering behind
She was dead for the world but not for me
For she speaks to me every night
In my dream as I close my eyes
I miss you my dear friend
You were my soul mate
You would live forever
In my thoughts and in my heart
Till my last breath, till my last beat
