Being Special

You always cared for me

But I always ignored you

You remembered my birthday every year

But I always forgot yours.

You sent me lovely and precious gifts

But I never appreciated them

You cried seeing me cry

But I always made fun of you

You helped me out through every difficulty

But I never thanked you

I wanted to tell you today

How SPECIAL you made me feel

Whenever you were with me!

But maybe now it’s too late

For now you’ve found someone else

Who makes you feel SPECIAL!

The Reason

I’ve felt the joy in sharing
I’ve felt the happiness in caring
I’ve felt the warmth of a smile
I’ve felt the innocence in a child

I’ve understood the meaning of sacrifice
I’ve understood the essence of forgiveness
I’ve understood the importance of being loved
I’ve understood the meaning of being kind

I’ve known how to be good
I’ve known how to be just
I’ve known how to spread happiness
I’ve known how to wipe away tears

I’ve learnt to help people in need
I’ve learnt to do everyday one good deed
I’ve learnt to win for no gain
I’ve learnt to laugh when in pain

And there’s only one reason for whatever I do
The Reason is YOU!

I wrote this poem after listening to the song “The Reason“by Hoobastank. I quote the following lines from this song; to all my friends

“And I just wanted you to know
Found out reason for me
To change the way I used to be
A reason to start over new
And the reason is YOU!”

Walking with you in the rain

I enjoyed every moment
That I spent with you
Every talk with you
Every walk beside you

In the hot summer days
When we shared the ice-cream
In the cold winter days
When we had a hot cup of coffee

And those days when we walked
In the rain hand in hand
Jumped in dirty puddles
And splashed water over each other….
How I cherish those moments
Walking in the rain with you....

But now, to me all seasons seem to be the same
Be it summer, winter or rain
How sad I feel to know
What you played with me was just a game

Whom do I trust now?
Whom do I tell now?
Whom do I ask now?
Questions that were felt unanswered

I feel like crying out loud
Find it difficult to hide my tears
When those sweet memories come to my mind

I want to walk in the rain now
And ease all the pain
But I cannot hold my tears
As they trickle down from the cheeks

And I know now
I’ll never feel the same joy again
Walking in the rain!!

See you soon

Five Years Ago..

Was the time
When I thought about him, dreamt about him, cared for him
I liked him and I loved him

Little did he know about this
Thought I was just another friend

Never did I express my feelings to him
Never had I spoken to him about my emotions

I repent for not bidding him farewell
For now he’s gone forever, far, far away from me

I’m left with nothing but only memories
The moments I spent with him-Giggling and Laughing

Even now I spend hours thinking about him
Trying hard to forget him, his smile, his laughter and his pranks!!
Waiting to meet him anxiously
Hoping that he’ll come someday, just to meet me!!

Just a small issue

Just a small issue
That begun as a mere disagreement
But further turned into an argument

And you argued and you fought
You uttered words to me without a thought

I wanted you to be my friend
To walk with me, right till the end

But the end came soon before it could actually be
And you walked right away
Not once did you look back at me

How could you be so ignorant?
Being a friend, never replied to those messages that I sent

I tried to be in touch with you
But you never cared for me the way, I cared for you

Don’t know how will I react when I see you?
Will I meet you or will I ignore you?

Best Days of my Life

Sky filled with clouds
Thunder shouted out loud
Weather’s turned out to be cool
It was time to go to school!

Long had been the summer vacations
Free from studies and exam tension
Back to school once again
And also to enjoy the rain!

Twas fun to see
the rain drops falling
And also fun to watch
the earthworms wriggling!

Got holidays from school
Many a times
A lame excuse to forget
The poems and the rhymes!

Returned home from school
Dressed in raincoats
And enjoyed the holiday
Sailing paper boats!

Hated to write an essay on “The rainy day”
Describing what we underwent during that holiday
‘Flooded roads, water logged railway tracks
Uprooted trees and damp school bags’!

Those were the years with
Four months of summer and Four months of rain
Now are the years
With endless months of summer and no signs of rain

You know the reason
And so do I
Still we continue to be the same
Not knowing why

Yet I’ll never forget those wonderful rainy days
And will ever cherish them as the “Best days of my life”.

In search of..

In search of you
I participated in college events though I didn’t want to

In search of you
I attended dance parties though it didn’t make me happy

In search of you
I went for movies and plays though it couldn’t turn my tears into laughter

In search of you
I visited many places where no one dares to go

In search of you
I met people whom no one wants to meet

In search of you
I walked a thousand miles
But couldn’t find you anywhere

It is always been said,
To have a friend, one has to be a friend.
And I regret saying that I couldn’t be one.
