Distant yet near ....

                                       

The very first time we met,

It was instinctive; I knew we would be friends

He was a brooding figure

Lost in deep thoughts

A sense of pain engulfed him

That may have been the reason to connect instantly

His laughter rang in my ears

His conversation were worldly

He seemed to have lost a part of himself

Which were evident in his vacant eyes

A relation was brewing

I was at ease with him

Time just flew by with him around

He drew stars in the vacant wall

And he was candid about it

He easily gained a top spot as my friend
All good things come to an end, don't they?

He had to leave.

I couldn’t find reasons to make him stay

I felt the void creeping up again

Will I be able to have similar conversations again?

I doubted them

New place, new friends, new conversations

The friendship I valued was bound to go

I had seen relations fade

And thought this one will fade as well

Was I surprised when I saw his text?

Yes, is an understatement

The same candid nature, the same friendly stance

His call made my day

Ensured me that I still had him around..

And well you know what,

I miss you…

I miss the long, stupid, bizarre conversations

At the same time,

I’m happy to know that they were just the very beginning

Of an amazing friendship….
