MY LOST BEST FRIEND
I walk by the river, I walk by the sea,
With memories of past and thoughts of thee.
I still remember the day we became friends,
I started to believe that true friendship never ends.
With you by my side I was on cloud nine,
Having you as my best friend was surely divine.
We stuck by each other through thick and thin,
In my life the word best friend took a new meaning.
Suddenly I felt as if we had a fall out,
Despite that i thought there’s nothing to worry about.
But it started getting worse as days passed by,
Distance between us grew, which i would not deny.
I did what i could to shorten the gap,
I was so stressed to even take a nap.
No matter what i did, you left me in the end,
Without a blink you forgot your best friend.
Your absence in my life drives me crazy,
These days I swear I’m no less than a withered daisy.
For once I just want you to believe,
Keep the rest aside and please do forgive.
I know it was my mistake in the past,
So till when will this punishment last.
I am here to make amends,
So come back to me my beloved friend.
As it is said that the bond of Friendship is the one bond we truly didn’t get by our blood but we make it by our heart, this bond is the ultimate pillar of support the beacon of love in the darkness of loneliness and fear, these are the hands we hold on to when we find ourselves left out, when the world leaves us crawling these hands are the first one who came to make us stand again on our feet, these are the faces we carry in our closed eyes, so near to us even when they are hundred miles away, the first ones we rush to in our tiniest achievement or in our biggest failures, the ears we trust to hold all our secrets that is whom we called our soulmate, our best friend. But through some dark days when our minds are befuddled by some murky thoughts in our foolishness we sometimes do something that deeply wounded the heart of the person whom we admire the most and that becomes the reason that breaks this bond that we thought has no expiry date. This poem goes through the same pain of regret and remorse the poet feels after hurting her best friend. The poem takes you to a roller coaster ride from happy moments we spend together to the pain of separation and loneliness we feel after losing her friend. And with this weight of her mistakes she is urging her to return back in her life again just for one more day.
You truly speak my heart.
