Thinking of you

I called my pal to hang out today
It had been long since I stepped out

Got into a pub kicking off our time to play

And began sharing our thoughts aloud

As time flashed by we had nothing more to talk

My mind started to wonder about you instantly

He understood what I am about to talk
My cheerful smile acknowledged him gladly

I made your sweet words turn into hilarious joke

Those cheeky pranks I deliberately played on you

Which made you go mad and burn out with smoke

But you knew my gags were inevitable for you

I just loved the way you reacted to my mischief

Yet you never gave a damn about how I ridiculed

We never parted from each other with disbelief

Since the understanding between us always ruled

I always admired the way your mind had got tuned

As you took lighthearted things always easy

And cared only about our friendship we sustained

Bonding it eternally to our life's exquisite journey

These trivial things about you are what I'm fond of

Making me travel back as nostalgia grows

Which lets me realize how sweet my life is made up of

Causing me to forget all my painful sorrows

Now my pal asks me "Are you guys still in touch?"

Feeling sad that you are not here anymore

I replied with intolerable despair "Not very much"

As we drifted to other talks and ordered for more

I think of you sometimes even now in your absence
Cherishing all the moments we spent in multitude
I meet you in my inner eye to enjoy my solitude
To embrace you in my dreams of your eternal presence

One morning...

I kept on looking into a frame of glass

Feeling very strange to see a man just like myself

Rubbing his cheeks with fingers on black grass

Watching him closely to find he had lost himself

I heard my name being called out loud

Urging me to make it real quick

Soon I realized I was in a misty cloud

Waking up myself to the noisy kick

I hate to see it fully grown

As it makes me look hopeless

Hate to spend time to cut them down

Wondering why can't I grow ageless

Now there is no escape
I've to give my face a good shape
Without getting it rightly shaved
People think I am severely enslaved
