Remember

Remember the day we met your mother offering me chocolate

After taking it from you and you giving me a scary look

With your big black eyes while pouting,

I thought you will probably hate me after eating it:

Because of that fear, I placed it in my wish bottle and started to stare at it.

After staring at it for two hours I realized that I wasn't fond of that chocolate,

I was found to befriend you, and then while daydreaming

About our friendship, I fell asleep beside my pillow to complete

That daydreaming in my sweet dreams just to see you, my friend;

Remember the other day you threw a stone wrapped in paper on my window

I startled for a second but then after opening

That paper I saw the most beautiful drawing of two friends holding hands together with chocolate

I thought you wanted to know if I have eaten it or not

So I ran through our corridor to show you that I kept it safe in my wish bottle

After watching that you left with a very sad face

And while seeing you turning your back on me

I realised that you were eager for my friendship, not that chocolate

And then I end up in deep thinking about what to do

Just to meet you again, my friend;

Remember the day in school our teacher made us benchmates

And telling us to be friendly with each other,

I was so embarrassed to even look at you,

Talking to you was a distant thing I realised.

Me after a full day without saying a word

And you not noticing me even for a blink

I discern that deity was angry with me

and then I lost all hope to make out with you.

While I was thinking, I suddenly slipped in the mud after school

And everyone started laughing when they saw me.

Someone extended the hand towards me to get me up,

When I saw your smiling face after I got up,

I thought when did you forget my resentment?

After that, I don't feel bad

So you also got in the mud with me

And started to laugh loudly

And then I realised that you were trying to make me know

What the friendship means

And just to get know more about that

I started to hear you , my friend;

Remember the day you told me

If you make a good deed you don't have to pray for a gift

But if you don't make a good deed

Even the pray don't play along

Then it clicked to me that our friendship was a gift of your good deed.

We spent ten years with our friendship ,

With few speed breakers of problems, sadness, happiness

And still, I think that I shouldn't have eaten that chocolate alone

Because it was so sweet that all of your love

Still reminds me of that feeling and still takes me back to that day

When we were treading mud and laughing carelessly

And then it makes me aware every time

That it wasn't that wish bottle which fulfilled my dream,

It was your smile that fulfilled our dream

And after that, I end up treading again

just to feel that smile of your face, my friend.
