My Childhood friend

When our universe was really small

Friendship was all we cared for

Playful little entities

Blissfully unaware

Of worldly complexities

And lived in life's simplicities

Laughter and joy was every where

No costly toys did we possess

In fairly tales we would reside

The leisure days were filled with fun

Carefree we use to run

And play tirelessly in the blazing sun

You were always so precarious

With shoe laces never tied

Daring and bold in your stride

Your footsteps my guiding trail

I use to follow you in awe

Thinking you are so brave

You could slay fierce dragons

And fight in battles with chivalry

Admired you in every way

Then we parted and grew away

Got engrossed in life's daily rut

Use to wonder where you would be?

If you even remembered me?

One day I happened to find you

So elated at the thought

Impatiently I sought you out

You remembered me to my delight

How happy I was I cannot say

I can still en live that day

But I found to my dismay

Life has changed you in a strange way

You are not what you use to be

I searched for my childhood friend

In vain I could not see

That special bondage of sincerity

You had became a stranger to me

I wish I could seek out that child in you

The mischievously bold, adventurous you

Why have you become so docile?

Whatever happened to the wild streak in you?

Where is that boy I once knew

I hope that you can find him

Please do tell him that

I dearly miss my childhood friend
