THE LOST FRIEND by Nithisha Sanvi

It has been years since I have seen you!
My heart always longs for you, but only then my mind reminds it of your absence.
I am taken back to those brighter days, when we had lots of fun together wandering and playing around.
I still cherish the day I was destined to meet you!
Even now I am able to picture out your cute acts as a young one.
Do you remember the cookies and ice creams we relished while watching the favourite “Oswald”?
I am reminded of the back seat travel with you in car, where you enjoyed the travel peeping out of window.
You not only remained as my best friend, but as defender in the absence of my parents.
The long evening walks on weekends with you were mind pleasing.
Now when I come around the house alone, your memories flash through my eyes as tears.
There had been time when you would wait for my return from school, but the time has rolled on and I keep longing to meet you my friend.
I have these memories treasured, which will bridge the Earth to Heaven above.
