Mar 2017
We danced not under a moonlit night
We chose to enjoy the bright daylight
We never exchanged our pretty hearts
We shared a million memories building towers of cards

You laughed when I fell and broke my crown
I didn't feel bad, I knew you cared deep down
You knew all wicked ideas that I ever got
We were best friends, we hugged, we fought

I inspired you, you amazed me
We were meant to write a refined story
You reigned my mind and ruled my gut
We were still only friends and to that we stayed shut

But slowly and steadily
Noiselessly and unknowingly
Something sparked in this little space
Was it me or was it you or was it something I had hidden in my case?

And then one night I thought of you
I suppressed my mind 'It can't be true.'
And I resolved that day
This little secret was to never be served in your tray

'Conceal, don't feel, don't let them in'
I finally knew what that phrase was saying
I couldn't risk our pious friendship
I could never ever be so foolish

And so I grieved from that day on
It was so much better had my silly mind not spoilt our happy song
All I wanted was to not lose
The bond we shared, so I placed the truce

But it didn't happen the way I wanted it to be
Soon you were seeing me lesser in the same breeze
You stayed away so I did too
To me happiness was wherever was the happiness of you

And now when I think of it,
How stupid I was!
I didn't realise that you would have to go someday
You'd have your own life far far away

I regret now not telling you then
Because you'd anyways go, wished you'd gone along with my burden
No, never think I blame you
I had no hopes of us being true

Now, You've forgotten how delightful we were
How our carefree lives made people stare
And I spend my time with the times of us two
For my heart had disappeared that night, it is, was and will always be with you.
