Blanket Coffee

                     

We saw each other in the corridor and smiled,
Knew that it wasn't going to be just for a while
Oh, then when in the same class we sat across each other,
We knew we were gonna be together forever.

No it is not my lover who I am talking about,
It is my best friend.
Yes, She and I were gonna set the trend.

We hung out, laughed, cried, went shopping, hugged, gossiped, and didn't need anyone else.
Each other's company was all we needed, no more no less.

But good things don't stay forever, they say.
She got new friends, what role was I to play?
I missed her and tried to catch upon,
But everytime I tried, the more left out I felt thereupon.

I have finally decided to step back and wait,
Hoping a text to start popping up every other day, once again,
'Call me @ 8'
True friends are hard to find and I guessed she was one of them.
And yes, she might surprise me; For Miracles happen when we least expect them.

Of course letting go is an option, but then you just can't.
When someone becomes as important as one of your body parts,
You cannot even think of drifting apart.

She wants to touch the sky,

But her wings have been cut.

And on the ground, here she lies,

Just wishing if she could go back to who she was.

She was this girl,

So strong and ever-smiling.

They would say she's as precious as a pearl,

And they were the ones who walked away from her.

All her strength started to drain away,

As she stood there watching them leave, one by one,

All of them had promised to stay,

But they left her alone, when she needed them.

Promises are indeed meant to be broken,

Everyone leaves, one day or the other,

And they leave behind the memories of "remember when",

While you, cry yourself to sleep.

But she stood up again now,

She has become her own hero,

She grew back her wings and how.

She's smiling again, she's living again...
