Nostalgia
today I feel
Thinking
how were we, how have we been?
Down
the memory lane let me take you
Recounting
all those times which are afresh as dew
Remember
the day we met
Not
even knowing what friendship meant
In
nursery school with cute little uniforms
So
unaware we were about worldly norms
Pink
lunch boxes matched
Who
thought that warm friendship it would hatch
Together
we played
Together
we stayed
Alphabets
we learned
For
meeting each other, at homes we yearned
So
fond of each other we grew
Do
you remember, we talked to others so very few
Dance
we learned as seven year olds
Our
bond shinning like pure gold
Mom’s
lipsticks we applied at ten
Yes,
hiding inside our secret little den
Remember,
that brat of the colony we fought
For
pushing you, lesson he was taught
Conjoined
twins we were called at school
Oh,
wasn’t that so cool?
Algebra,
me you taught
Remember,
how it made me fraught
History
you never remembered
New
ways of memorizing it, we found together
As
the sweetness of sixteen arrived
Gazing
at those boys, plans we devised
Nervous
as wreck, on the first date you went
My
short black dress to you I had lent
Butterflies
in stomachs collective we dealt
Mushiness
of first love together we felt
Cried
my eyes out together with you
The
day that jerk broke your heart leaving you blue
You
never know but I went and punched his face
How
funny he looked with his jaw displaced
Clearing
board exams, together we burned midnight oils
To
memorize the answers, remember how hard we toiled
How
could I forget on my fewer marks more than me you had cried
In
those dark days, you were always by my side
You
gave up the best college for me
So
that together we could be
The
college wouldn’t have been so much fun
Without
you and your humorous puns
Elocutions,
debates, and plays we took part
Always
a team, never ever apart
I
know you pushed me towards that college hunk
Making
me meet him and letting lectures bunk
Proxy
on my behalf you signed
Remember,
when caught, how you were fined
Chocolates
we hogged the day before
Preparing
for interview, weren’t our eyes so sore
Nervousness
on the day of placement results
How
panicky we were, not at all behaving like adults
Happy
tears brimmed seeing you bag the best job
But
it pained to think that a new city you would now hop
Entire
station saw when we hugged and cried
I
felt as if from me you were being untied
Phone
bills increased as we talked into the night
From
jobs, to bosses to beautiful city lights
The
joy of our first salaries, together we celebrated
But
not being with each other made this joy a little abated
Remember
the time I visited you
And
there we went again sticking to each other like glue
Poor
your boyfriend feeling so lost without you
Years
it’s been since this city you left
But
living without each other is an art we shall never be adept
Our
friendship and bond grows stronger every day
I
hope, I pray we continue to be together life’s every single day
Sometimes
I think, is there a name to this bond
How
can we be each other so very fond
Ah,
yes I know what is it called
It’s
two bodies and one soul
