Friendship – Revival Of… Poem by Angelina Pandian

Recollections & Remembrances should make us smile
Not CRY!
But, why, whenever I think of you I hold back
All my feelings and simply cry.
Do you know why?
Please help me stop cry.
I know this is all so crazy,
But, I still remember your face!
Your curly wavy hair so dark so black
It made your face fair all the more
Your glasses perched on the tip of your sharp nose
Yeah, of all the faces I’d seen before and after seeing you
Still no sponge has erased you from my mind
We were just 2 coffee pots who liked to talk
Through the night in the train
But, I still remember your face!
I thought I might forget – Time has proved me wrong
Few calls, few mails in the beginning, suddenly
F-O-U-R years have gone and much in between
But I think I have missed a friend - not in my thought
But in my heart and I regret
Not having reached for you earlier
I do not know, but I thought
Surely he would have forgotten me
He already has plenty of friends
‘Why bother with someone new’
All this and more hinder me even now
But, still if you think – jus a cuppa coffee’
When next you halt at Chennai
Will not delay you on your journey’s way
Please remember, I’m here and I still remember you!
