Never thought about You…. Drunk in the wine of pleasure… I ignored You. You always smiled… At me. I didn’t see it coming. A day when life abandoned me. My loved one fell silent. Then You took me in Your arms. Made me live again. The way I never knew. Filled with bliss. I could see your footsteps Unwashed, on the shores of time. Exactly on the path I traversed. I was gratified… Then bewildered… Then revered You… You did so much for me. Even though I never trusted You…. They are so true when they say – Strange are the ways of the Lord !

Just wanted to taste your lips, Didn’t know when your soul kissed me. Just wanted to listen to you, Didn’t know when you became a habit. Just wanted to let you free, Didn’t know when you bound me unto you. Just wanted to watch you play, Didn’t know when I joined the game. Just wanted to feel your touch, Didn’t know when you healed my wounds. Just wanted to get a life, Didn’t know when you became my life……

Not quite long ago… I failed. To tell you that I like your smile. I regretted it every bit. Wondering if I had it in me…. To go and get my dreams. Now I’m gleefully happy… About keeping mum then. I like you no more… You’ve changed.. Or is it me ? No, Its you.

(I seriously do not know how to wish you. A trillion thoughts came to my mind. None of them lasted for more than a second.) When you ran into me, it was a bright sunny morning. A few words quickly became a volume....of words. The language known yet very rarely used. Pages unfolded and you seemed to be an open book. I still read the book. You add pages to it. May the book never finish ! Wishing a truly special friend a very happy birthday !!!! Be the way you are….forever….

You frowned at me, I gave smile a chance… Luck decided to abandon me, I gave labour a chance. Love chose to forsake me, I gave life a chance. All good things came back to me, I gave Death a chance....
