To My Best Ones... Poem by Sushma V A

I pulled hard on d oars as we neared d shores...
The boat hits d sand n I'm filled with remorse..
U get up to step out n give me a tight hug...
N I feel like bitten by a memory bug...! !

Strangers we were wen we'd said 'Hello'...
Mates when d same path we'd follow...
Friends when we'd pulled each other up...
But bestiees we became when it was... 'Ssshh...SHUT UP'! ! : P

Miles we'v walked in d sun n rain...
'Cya tmrw' finally we'd proclaim! :)
Hours we'v spoken abt absolutely nothing...
Getting back home n still gotta say something...! :)

Our out-of-station adventures will remain d best...! ;)
Our last minute planning for every stupid test...
Our experiments which set d beaker on fire...
Our teasing which would always get higher! ! : P

N those lunch periods...how do we forget? ? ?
One curd rice, one chutney n mine carrot! ! : D
Btw d grunts and complaints we'd gulp them down...
N get set for d evening snack without a frown! !

As u let go of me and wave ur hand....
My teary eyes track ur footsteps in d sand...
And i pull hard on my oars...away from d shores...
Luking ahead...with these memories in crores! ! : ') : ')
