# The Day We Met

- SilicoFlare

I still remember the day we met,
Twenty-three seas had our destiny set,
I blushed like a girl on seeing you,
That was when I started liking you.

You were always in my thoughts,
Qualities of a friend you had lots,
I then decided, no matter whatever,
I would make you my best friend forever.

After college, we had the best walks,
Complete with the most wonderful talks,
The food stalls were our pass time,
We were always partners in crime.

We teased each other on studying well,
We laughed at jokes till we fell,
We argued on the answers after every test,
Without talking to you I couldn't rest.

Slim and cute, never mute,
You like to observe stuff minute,
You're also good at technology,
To praise you, I have no analogy.

I still think back to the day we met,
As we stood in the college fence,
Though I was in the rain, completely wet,
I felt warm just by your presence.

I kept you in an esteem very high,
I thought of you as the sun in my sky,
I would never bring a tear in your eye,
And stay by your side till I die.

But Fate had plans for me in store,
Which shook our friendship from the core,
Though for you, I did big and small,
You never seemed to notice it at all.

For you I was one of those friends,
Who existed only till the college ends,
Though I treated you as my bestie,
I was for you just another entity.

Thinking it would never affect you,
I started finding more friends new,
And then I found the coolest pals,
Two cool guys and three crazy gals.

They were of mine a constant company,
I made them close with my jokes funny,
I started prioritizing them over you,
And with you I spent only minutes few.

God knows how, but you WERE affected,
That thought in your eyes was reflected,
Thinking I left you for good,
You started ignoring me, which was rude.

I started observing it too late,
Destined to happen on the stage of Fate,
Though I tried to speak to you,
I could just meet your behaviour new.

Disturbance became a part of me,
When I saw you during hours free,
The agony of losing you hit me like a dagger,
From the path of happiness I began to stagger.

I always had tears when I thought of you,
I always felt anxious when the break bell rang,
Not only did I lose you,
I lost the members of our gang.

For my part of mistake I had to be sorry,
As the guilt I could no more carry.
I always tried to gather courage,
From my book of life I wanted to tear that page.

When I apologized, you gave acknowledgement,
But afterwards you kept me at arm's length,
When I wanted to speak to you a word,
You always made the situation awkward.

You always tried to avoid me,
Your ego was in the path like a tree,
I couldn't tolerate this attitude of yours,
And so I decided to end this by force.

I then told you that it's all over,
You wouldn't apologize, no matter whatever,
But both of us decided to change our mind,
A way to get back we had to find.

I know you never realized your mistake,
The drops of my explanation could fill up a lake,
How come you blamed it all on me,
When your own faults you can't see?

You were the one to ignore me first,
When I did the same, you treated me worst.
Both did it and we settled the score,
Why still keep your ego in your core?

You were the one who broke me first,
Yet you make ME go through the worst,
If you couldn't my feelings return,
Why didn't you, on the first day, take an about turn?

To you I am an outcast everywhere,
To never consider me you are always aware.
You treat me like I committed a sin,
What about your own mistakes you hid in?

I killed my self-respect to get you back,
But the qualities of compassion you lack,
If you think in your life I am useless,
Why live at the cost of my happiness?

But I don’t wanna let go off you,
Because we can still start a friendship new.
Forgetting all the bad that happened between us,
We can continue to have our talks in the bus.

I yearn for that special day to come,
When with friendship, we become one.
For that, my friend, whatever you say,
I will wait for you till my last day...

I write these lines, tears making them wet,
As I remember the day we met...
