MY FRIEND
We met in a classroom
Instantly we were friends.
Spent three years together
Had so much of fun
We could not be apart.
And always vowed
we would be friends forever.
We stood by each other
skipped classes, went to movies
Walked through the park.
Helped each other with homework
Shared our lunch
There was always a laugh.
Then came a day when we parted ways
I came to the U.S. You stayed in India
The letters were frequent, then they were few.
I was starting a new life
And forgot there was you.
The years have gone by
I often think of the good times
we had.
I wish I could relive them
The good and the bad.
I have tried to contact you
But heard that you had left
the country too.
Each night when I say my prayers
I always say a special prayer for you.
Good friends are rare to come by
I wish I had you.
Time has gone by
I am a mother of two.
I often think of you
And wonder if you have a family too.
I would love to meet yours and show mine to you.

Lisa,,thank you. I should have kept up with her.did not realize it would turn out like this.we always take people for granted and that they will always be around.

Shionge..know how you feel.
Alex..thnk you.It is always fun to share lunches.
Neihal..thank you

It happens with all of us. thankfully, for me, my friend didnt lose contact with me, despite my irregularities in correspondence.
What beautiful poem! I hope that you and your friend can see each other again. I'm sure she misses you too.
Good friends are hard to come by ... those that accept you for who you really are ...
hugs for you ...
Wow,this really touched me. I am still in touch with my close friends but I know at times how life can get in the way and other things take over lessening the contact. Friedship is indeed such a beautiful thing. I'm sure this friend of yours would also be thinking of you and hope someday you both find way to get in touch again.
Chitra..thanks.I do hope I find her again.
Anali..thanks.I feel sad that I let this friendship go.
Trinity star..you are so right,good friends are hard to come by.and mine was sure a good friend.
Fuzzylogic..yes I was caught up with my own stuff and did not have time foor my friend.It is aweful that I did that.I wish I had kept in touch with her.
Beautiful starry. I too miss my best friends but have lost with no contact.
yeah. And recently one of my school-friends told me that a good friend of mine from Kindy had died during child-birth..I didnt even know...she's been dead for like 5yrs now. But she was in SL and Im over here...we lost touch for many years. I cried after hearing that.
Keshi.
WOW this is beautiful I can imagine you being so far from your friends and seeing your thoguht and how you think of your friend ..powerful my friend

vow!....i wish my long lost friends would write poems like these for me :)
Times flows and so does our life..but the memories of the lovely moments of our life always stay with us as a part of our life..
Hope you get to see her again...

Hi!
Thanks for stopping by today! I really appreciate your thoughts today. I was actually taking a 2 hour nap before I work on my song.
It was nice waking up and the first thing I read is a comment of support. Thank you. Now I got a little motivation to work on the song before my meeting with my teacher in a few hours. have a nice evening! Bye!
Lisa
its like a long train journey - u meet people, talk to them, and then when ur station comes, u get off, irrespective of the others...
i had such good friends in college - we were this gang, always together. today, i have no clue what most guys r doing.
and so we move on...:)
very touching ! i have also trying to reach out to my old friends. glad i can contact some while a few have disappeared. u should try to trace ur friend and relive all those old wonderful memories :)
Ohhhh Starry, what a lovely poem and beautiful sentiments. I have moved so much in my life that I have lost touch with many of my closest school friends. Fortunately for me, one day out of the blue, my best friend during my school years contacted me all the way from Australia. She has been in touch with the other girls in our school group so I have been lucky enough to meet up (virtually) with a lot of them.
I hope your friend contacts you one day...don't give up hope...with the internet anything is possible!
Lalitha,
you sure made me cry, I can really identify with this, well life they say goes on, you move on and make new friends, but there's sure something about old friends.
I hope you guys someday meet again.
really..it is gets u really hard when friends drift away..we miss them all of a sudden and feel like if they were near us!!
Lisa thanks.You have so much talent and you are going to make it.hang on.
Lotus reads..thanks.I do hope I meet up with her one day.like you said nothing is impossible with the internet.
Dharmabum..thanks.true it is like a train journey.sometimes you have such good company that you wish this ride did not end.such was my friendship only lost with disatance.
mathew..thanks.
What an awesome poem about a heartfelt friendship!
hi starry night
hugs
Even i miss my frnd.. n irony is tht we both have each other contacts... but sth else has come in b/w
This is very sweet and touching...I hope your friend contacts you :)
I have moved a lot in my life and there are few friends I truly miss and want to meet them one day inshAllah :)
Stay Beautiful...!
Have a lovely Mums Day wknd Starry!
