Friend

The burning wax, the setting sun,

The legs weary, and yet they run,
Orchards buzzing with bees and mangoes,

Here we go, sprouting wings like flamingos.

One stone, and two, hurled with a force,

Of innocent theft, gifts rained in scores,

Sweetness caressed our daily desire,

Sipping mangoes, our friendship on fire.

Oh, those long lost days of togetherness,

The sandy roads, dust flying behind our pace,

Where are you now, where, where, where?

I miss those days, the laughter and joys, now so rare.

Hand in hand we set afloat,

Dreaming high, navigating paper boat,

The muddy terrains, we sailed all day,

The rock cut memories, now laid at bay.

Smiles and tears, sharing, lending,

The games we played, without winning or losing,

The constant companionship I crave for now,

I wish I could go back, but don't know how.

Oh, those long lost days of togetherness,

The sandy roads, dust flying behind our pace,

Where are you now, where, where, where?

I miss those days, the laughter and joys, now so rare.
