It's not a Goodbye!...

(This piece was written on the first Saturday of August, 2011 in Bangalore. A Chapter of my life that had just begun where I was so happy with the company of this new friend. Just when I started believing that my life was in the perfect place and its only gonna get better from there on, I was sent to Delhi because of my work. It was heart aching for both of us. My travel was inevitable and I had no idea what to get him as parting gift. So I made him a card with this poem.)

'Too much of anything is bad'

Its a cliche everyone knows,

But ours was neither unattractive,

Nor had any overdose.

For me, it was a new start

Which I am glad it began,

But I also know it ain't the end,

Aside which, I promise to always stand.

You made me happier than ever,

Like the bright sunrise after cold winter,

I wish I could stay to witness more,

But I had to take the choice bitter.

From 'Hi Sir!' to 'Abe Oye...!!'

I never thought I'd be on this road,

You are such a charm and drug,

Whom I couldn't leave without this ode.

I had forgotten how to taste,

And had little adventures around,

That's when you became the temptation,

The noise in the silent sound.

Theaters were like ex-boyfriends,

Where I had no chance or reason to be,

I want to 'thank you' better,

For hooking me up with movies I wanted to see.

You are so discrete,

With a heart so simple and pure,

Who makes an imprint everywhere,

To whom I can give awards in galore.

You made my weekends flawless,

Gave me 'waitings' I was excited about,

Took me places so mesmerizing,

I wish I could paint them on the clouds.

Your personality is a lightening firework,

Meeting you I was wonder struck,

But I keep asking myself the same question,

Was it my destiny or just my luck?

You said, "This is the worst thing that happened",

Believe me when I say I feel the same,

I think I messed up us both,

And I am ready to take the blame.

This was the best phase you had in Bangalore,

I call it the best phase of my life ever,

And want to thank you for all this,

And wish could ask you to end it never.

What you gave me here and now,

Is the first page for me about us,

I pray its not a line that ends,

Cos then for me the story sucks.

When you picked me up for place,

I'd end up having a time amazingly insane,

Later when I closed my eyes to fall asleep,

My mind echoed your name.

The moments were inexplicable,

Nothing can them emulate,

They were fragments of our friendship,

But felt bigger and better than any date.

I was numbed and enchanted,

To know friendship with this art,

I shall spend forever thinking if you knew,

That leaving here was an inferno in my heart.
