The best of you in my mind

-By Vishakha Pakhale

In the fall of winter we started as friends 
can’t believe today we have come to this end

You are the cold breeze of wind 
And I’m the autumn spring

Under the shade of dark sky, 
I’m always trying to figure out why, 
who is this mysterious guy, whose secrets hidden,
making the time fly.

The silliness in me didn’t see how you held me so close , so tenderly

Through laughter and tears , we wandered free ,
not knowing your company was my remedy.

We roam around the city ,crafting memories like fine whiskey.

Throwing tantrums and irritating you was the favorite thing i do

Despite all the troubles i had You bring out the best in me that’s the matter of flex you have

I cried and you became my shoulder
You came into light when i least desired

Always jumping to the conclusion is what i do
Our fights make our bond deeper is that true

I never knew attachment, my heart was free to roam, 
But then you came along, and hit the rock called home

We help each other to grow, maybe toxic, or may be wild
but surely making each other a better person in this process of flow

Like leaves that fall with the changing breeze, 
I drift through life, unbound, at ease.

I can’t digest the fear of losing you
That’s why i always come back to you.

When we’re drifting apart, I wonder if we’ll stay friends now and then, or after all?

The hope i create suddenly shatters away
and the distance in between can’t bring us close, making us betray.

We’re lost in confusion, misunderstandings keep us apart, 
And now, I can’t call you home, though it breaks my heart.

What happened to us, what’s pushing us away, 
We used to be so close, now we’re drifting apart each day.

What’s keeping you stay so far away .

I miss each day of us, the laughter we shared ,
the hug we shared can’t be brought back to life ,
do you still don’t have that drive ?

Though we are not friends anymore
I still want to know your whereabouts
so that i can’t keep any fear or any doubts

I waited till the day when all hopes slipped away
and then realized our bond went into the ashtray

I always wanted the best for you and still do. Hope your dreams and desires always come true, my cherished kind.
That’s why I’m keeping the best of you in my mind.
