Remember Me Poem by Prarthana Ranjit

cute little secrets turned into dirty big lies.
lies that we know each other. lies that we have made some memories.
I don't know why it did,
or when it started? I swear I would have stopped it- or at least tried to.
but.. I was so busy trying to convince you that my own lies are the truths; that you could lie too did not cross my mind.at.all.
But every time I lied to you, the lie I told you became the truth for me; So I was lying not to you, but to myself.again & again.

& it was so easy, because I never saw your face,
you never looked into my eyes, so you could never tell.
I could be crying but a smiley face typed on this keyboard made it a lie. ~~ fake smiles became SO easy.why I had to fake a smile for you? that I don't know.

& it's funny how things take course. Somehow along the way, I started thinking I know you the best. I don't know if it was because you told me so, or because I wanted it to be so.
Now, if I look back, I am the last person to know everything about you. We, hardly know each other. Best friends you say, but I don't think we will even pass the friends test? best is far off ... an overestimation.

& yes, you won't forget me.
a trail of virtual memories that I tried so hard to make real, will always linger on in your mind.

Ten years from now, you won't forget me,
but you won't remember me either!
