We were these inseparables,
only together for a couple of years.
Lives drifted, took their own paths
Only to realize we haven’t met for years.
We still can go on for hours without a point
And still connect as if we weren’t disjoint.
The bond is musical
Filled with the fondest of teenage memoirs.
The bond is still magical
Filled with the loveliest womanhood secrets.
Those were the days , which were a musical slur.
Now they are nothing but a slight blur.
But yes, we remember each other
Clinging on to one another.
Filled with the fondest of teenage memoirs.
The bond is still magical
Filled with the loveliest womanhood secrets.
Those were the days , which were a musical slur.
Now they are nothing but a slight blur.
But yes, we remember each other
Clinging on to one another.
As we look back and fondle
We remember that cute little huddle.
We fought for the silliest things
We cried over those pimple pangs.
We laughed over those cute little movies.
We blushed over those cute flirty fellas.
We wanted to look slimmer
But couldn’t help those guilt trips of hunger.
We wanted to look smarter
something like that superstar.
We fought, we cried,
We laughed, we blushed.
We had a life which didn’t want to end.
Little did we know that rules of life could not be bend.
We sigh, we think.
We get oh-so nostalgic.
But we have our own lives,
Entangled in the net of family jittery jives.
All what remains are those memories,
Which might be relived when our offsprings are off to their sanctuaries.
But it’s time to remember a point,
Be it anywhere,
Friends don’t drift.
It’s only time and tide,
But not the bond that shifts.
PS: This one's for my best friend, Uma. The rest of you guys can dedicate it to your teenage buddy you still connect to. Am sure no one's alone :)
