BFFs

Flipping the pages of my old crumbled notebook

I found those scrawny jokers

embellishing my crabbed hand

resurrecting old memories in my mind.

We were best friends; perhaps born 'besties'

"Un-goggled" nerds shouting out answers

From the back bench; pushed to the corner

By a fatso, engulfing two third of the area -a loner.

We were the princesses of our imaginary world

Where we had the perfect things and were the prettiest girls.

In the real world, we'd just sit whispering,with narrowed eyes and a frown.

Plotting to push our neighbour down.

Piles of grave secrets stuffed in our brain

We grew up, but the weirdness never waned.

It was the age when our brain confided in double meaning

And twenty four seven we fantasized about our prince charming.

We made new friends and never did we realize

that we were ending up in the opposite shores

Petty fights and mistakes and misunderstandings

Weakened us, piercing our hearts like stings.

But nothing dared to wreck our friendship.

Time ran fast planting new dreams and hopes in us

We parted ways in pursuit of our goals

And it was all then limited to a few phone calls.

But I can never forget you dear friend

You coloured the best days of my life

My thoughts never ceased to bear your name
You're my best friend forever and everything's just the same.
