There was a time when paths were clear,
And laughter echoed in the air,
A group of friends, a carefree ride,
With hearts that didn't have to hide.

Through winding roads, the breeze would play,
With Preksha’s smile, the world felt right,
Her cousin too, and Suryavanshi,
We rode like winds, so wild and free.

Suryavanshi, my oldest friend,
A bond so strong, it had no end.
Yet when Preksha came into sight,
My gaze would shift, my heart took flight.

Her eyes, like windows to the sky,
Reflecting light, a soft reply.
In them, a world of wonder spun,
A quiet storm, a setting sun.

Her beauty, like soft rain's glow,
A light that made the world feel slow.
Not love, but something stirred inside,
A feeling I could not confide.

We'd play the games, so full of cheer,
The simple joy of friends so near.
Tag, chicklets, laughter in the sun,
Every moment shared was never done.

In rain-soaked skies, alone I’d ride,
A solitary joy I couldn’t hide,
She asked me why, as she rolled past,
I answered, "Alone, it feels so vast."

And though we didn’t speak that day,
The moments stayed in the sway...
Not love, but a sense of belonging true,
A time of peace that only grew.

I saw her last at a birthday bright,
A celebration, joy taking flight,
But no words passed, just glances shared,
A distance grew, yet none compared.

Now, I see her through the lens of time,
In stories shared, a distant rhyme,
Our paths diverged, and yet I find,
The memories still live in my mind.

For it wasn’t love, but something more,
A bond that time cannot ignore,
The bicycle rides, the rain-soaked days,
The quiet moments, the quiet ways.

I moved away, to another place,
A new house, a new life to embrace.
The streets once familiar, now feel strange,
But still, in my heart, things don't change.

And though I rarely visit now,
The past still whispers, soft somehow,
In every turn, in every space,
A little part of her I embrace.

From childhood’s light, they walked side by side,
Two hearts entwined, no secrets to hide.
Yadav and Suryavanshi, a bond so pure,
A friendship unspoken, but lasting and sure.

But time, like rivers, carried them far,
To distant lands, beneath different stars.
Yet fate would bring them back one day,
To the same school, where memories lay.

At first, she saw him, but ran away,
Too many feelings she couldn’t display.
He searched for her through halls and rooms,
But she vanished again, like a passing bloom.

And then one day, hearts opened wide,
She spoke what Yadav couldn’t hide.
A proposal, a dream, a hope in the air,
But love’s complexity left them both in despair.

For her heart, a playful song,
While his love was deep and strong.
She wandered, free, through many a crowd,
While he sought silence, calm, and proud.

Their worlds collided, their values misread,
A bitter goodbye, harsh words were said.
Yet still, after all the hurt and the pain,
A friendship remained, though not the same.

They don’t talk much, but when they do,
A trace of the past still shines through.
A friendship not lost, but redefined,
A bond that time and trials can't unwind.


Though love may fade, and paths may part,
True friendship endures, etched in the heart.
In silence they stand, but quietly aware,
That sometimes, the best love is the one that’s shared.
