Memories...

Just a few months
Of having known you
But know you’ve made an impact
The late night chats
The cries of greeting in the foyer
The meals shared
The promises made
The promises broken
Poetry exchanged
Lessons learnt
Abuses hurled
But never meant
The flushy that didn’t quite go down
Arguments had
Decisions made
The books read and discussed
Disagreements and laughter
That went hand in hand
Artwork created
Always appreciated
Or criticized constructively
New loves found
Permanent joys
The “get well soon”s received
The bitchings about authority
The cold coffees
The butter sadas
The kurta shopping
The movies that made us laugh
The silence that brought tears
To ever-forgiving eyes
Telephonic conversations
That lasted for hours
Philosophies mulled over
The cosmos explored
The cab rides shared
The walks through shifty alleys
Desk duty at college fests
Plays acted in
Plays reminisced about
Parties attended
Events ranted about
Ambitions brought into light
Praise showered
The moments of seclusion
The help offered
The advice given
Photographs taken
And promptly shared
Music made but then destroyed
Eyebrows raised
On traditional day
Angry glares exchanged
Books borrowed stories told of days long gone
Nicknames revealed
Creativity discovered
Memories of breakfasts
That we never had
Prize winning exhibitions
Schemes that we hatched
Blogs explored
Anger vented
Egos dented
Energies spented
It just won’t be the same.
