A painful rememberance

When I first got introduced to this friend, there is something that was spoken, and it had struck me as something unique and something no one has said to me, till date.   We both were working from different cities and after the official meet and the chirpy voice came in and said, Hey Vincy Bye for now.  but you know what, I will turn up like a bad penny.

We went on to become best pals for more than a decade and a half.  Unfortunately, things went downhill a week back. Today while I was digging my draft posts, long forgotten, I came across this poem, written with this same friend in mind, and in essence it tuned up like a bad penny, I should say.  

Would you believe me if I tell you

I am in a constant monologue with you ?

Sharing my life’s moments, little aspirations

Memories, dreams, fears and even insignificant stuff?

Would you believe me if I tell you

I live in a make-believe world

And you are a beautiful part of it.

Everything that I have ever asked for

Would you believe me if I tell you

You piece me together when I am broken

Give me new horizons to look for and

Set my benchmark ever high so I can reach them

Would you believe me if I tell you

I feel worthwhile when I listen to you

Often realising my own worth

That has lost its sheen in my own eyes

Would you believe me if I tell you

I am so thankful you are in my life

Though I may not ever say it to you

And there’s no chance you will read this

What I believe in is the fact

That none crosses our path  without HIS plan

and you my friend

are definitely no coincidence.
