Friends 4ever U N I by Shahnaaz Mehta

Long ago on some saturday,
We had met that first day;

You didn't know me, neither did I,
Yet we sat together alone and shy;

Started to talk about the day,
And then I dont know we went which way;

Came my stop and I went away,
Hoped to meet another day;

Days came by, and weeks went on,
Then I knew I could feel the bond;

I shared with you the little things,
The happy moments, some sad settings;

We formed our group to get rid of solitude,
Little did I know then, it gave me multitude;

Always Crossroads, Relish, Copper Chimney we met,
But the mirth it gave me, I shall never forget;

Sometimes we understood, sometimes we misunderstood,
And sometimes I knew I was rude;

After every argument or any fight,
You always gave in whether I was wrong or right;

Though on those days, I thought I had won,
But I know now the things you had done;

With you I saw life as a bouquet,
The thorns somehow you took away;

Now as you go so far away,
I know that void is there to stay;

Today as I write this ballad,
The logic in me is left far away;

Though you know that literature is not my forté,
I do it for you poet, the memories will stay;

The distance is vast, miles 8549,
but you never have to ask me if I have the time;

This perennial friendship I formed with you,
I shall never give up for anything new;

Life just goes on, there is no time to sigh!
But we shall remain friends forever U N I

    I simply dont have words to express the feeling I got when I read it for the first time!

    Thanks Shahnaaz, for etching this beautiful memory in the mural of my life :)
