Goodbye, Old Friend
GOODBYE………OLD FRIEND!
After the family comes this ‘friend’
Holds your hand from the beginning and walks till the end
I remember my first day when I entered the school
With teary eyes I looked at you
U too looked at me but smiled
That was the last time, alone I cried
Remember how we walked in corridors
And rarely any classes we bunked
But whenever v used to have a fight
Each time a little my heart sunk
Surely, school life would have been incomplete without you being with me
If today I look back to those 15 years, you are the most important thing I see
Talking to you about every bit and piece
How much ever wasted I may feel,
You had the power to bring my mind at peace
Being called the twin sisters, and saying *touchwood*
But guess the roots were not so strong, on which that wood stood
A different charm, when we spent the time together
Friendship stays the same, I thought, forever
But CHANGE is the only constant, that’s what I have heard
People change unexpectedly, isn’t it absurd?
people may come and people may go
that’s how life maintains its flow
but, memories choose to stay with us always
with tears and smiles they constantly play
some people will make memories till the end , a few
but some will give memories to you
remember, without emptying the glass
more water cant be poured,
without losing some, new ones, you cant afford
I know,
Even today we talk and chat everyday
But the charm and closeness is fading away
May our friendship stays always
But I will miss those school days
‘Best’ friends do exist, as we have always been
But time to move on, it may sound mean
I guess someday you stop by, and read these few lines
But that tag of best friend that you gave me
Hope it always stays mine
i know we both have changed from inside
but having that bond for years
our greatest pride
i know one day we will hug each other
and i know one day this bond will choose to stay forever
Good luck old friend,
I know for each other we will still be there
Our words may lack that charm
But never that bond that we will always share
Good bye old friend,
But as you go, always remember
The memories u gave me will stay with me forever
I will find new ones, so will You
But the bond we shared,
Was just between us two!
