A journey from a friend to a stranger..

Friend..
at the age of 4 years.. a gentle pat on the back.. a kind smile.. a familiar face..
at the age of 6 years.. someone who gets the toys.. lollipops..
at the age of 10 years.. someone who tells us about new things..
at the age of 13 years.. someone with the all the gossip..
at he age of 16 years.. someone with the fashion tips..
...
.....
.......
.........

at the age of 70 years.. a gentle pat on the back.. a kind smile.. a familiar face..

At the end of life.. we would maybe not remember the moments .. but we can never forget how they made us feel..
but sometimes.. its not as good as it seems..
for everything comes to an end.. a universal law..
everything beautiful in life.. comes to an end..
I never believed that there exists something as universal.. but life has taught me the hard way.. that everything, sadly, comes to an end..
someday.. we all must part ways.. move to different paths.. start new beginnings..
but someday.. we may cross.. and I would be glad to share my life with you.. for you have been my friend.. and all this while when I walked alone, I missed you..

Today, when we are in front of each other..I wait for you to say something.. maybe you could explain what went wrong.. I want to ask you.. I want to tell you.. all my life.. I want to spread it out in front of you.. my life.. that has been so lonely without you.. but I don't seem to find any words..

and my sole fear.. of meeting you at some strange land.. and not knowing what to say.. let the moments of our meeting pass in silence.. let that one chance of letting you know what you meant to me.. pass away.. fly by.. and regret it for ever..
b'cause we just traveled..a journey from a friend to a stranger..
and I burned the bridge in between..

hmm..nice..beautiful..just one correction...everything comes to an end...i.e. beautiful or not..its just that when something beautiful ends, the loss is much more realized by us..in fact here is another quote from a movie(matrix I guess)...'Everything that has a beginning has an end"

Hey bavani.. long tym :) wishing you a beautiful year ahead..!! thanks a lot for visiting :)

so true varenya.. everything in life comes to an end.. beautiful or not.. but somewhere along.. all friendships in life are beautiful.. because they touch our lives in one way or another :)

we come across millions of people in our lives..some stay some leave...some leave footprints in our hearts while others stealthily walk out.. the journey of a relationship from a strnger to friend is a memorable one ..but the journey of the decay of a relationship from a friend to a stranger is a painfull one..and u kno nix what i m talking about(rather who) ;-)
anyways very aptly written!

Sonika said...

Swati said...
