If we were childhood friends
I would have taken you to that garden near your house
and we would have played on the see-saw instead of walking round and round
saving us from taking a reverse to beat the slow walkers
How can I miss drawing you with my crayons
that once only served Lord Ganesha
And the hide & seek that we play now
would have been funnier then
you would hide and I would peekabo
and you would find me no matter where I hide
all credit to my height, right?
I would also play badminton every evening,
keeping in mind that points don’t matter,
but you do
Only this way,
you would not fall after every meeting
and not be afraid to be very happy
May be, we already did all of this and that in some life
and that’s why we were not childhood friends
this time.
