I Have Known You Forever Poem by Chitra Bisht

I Have Known You Forever
As long as I can remember

From a toddler taking baby steps
To a teenager taking a misstep

You were always there for me
My dearest friend, my buddy

Warm, tender eyes filled with love
Caring temperament gifted from heaven above

Protecting me, worrying over my behaviour
My dear buddy, my knight in shining armour

Till you were mercilessly taken away by fate
Left alone, I cursed and cried, too late

Understand now, what you did for me
Try to live life the way it should be
