The words never spoken...

As i sat in my 11th grade maths class,
I kept looking at the girl next to me
whom I thought of as my 'best friend'..
Every time I looked at her smiling face
even simple additions started going wrong
which I had learnt in my early school days.
I couldnt resist giving a stare,
at her long beautiful silky hair
My mind stopped working on the sine and cosine
and just kept wishing she was mine
But I knew she didnt notice me like that
I wanted to tell her that I dont want to be just a friend
but just kept looking, as I was a bit too shy
and I dont know why...

An year had gone so fast
and time had come for us to part
Yes, it was the day of farewell
and I had made up my mind to finally tell
which I couldnt in the last one year..
She came to shake hands with me
and said she would be missing me
She had no more words to speak
and gave me a kiss on my cheek
I looked at her crystal eyes
and wished she was mine
I wanted to tell her that I dont want to be just a friend
and that I like her
but could just keep looking, as I was a bit too shy
and I dont know why...

Days turned into months and months into year
And one fine day I was surprised to hear
when she called up to invite me
for her birthday party
When I reached her house I was stunned to see
her in a white gown looking like an angel..
I wanted her to be mine but
she didnt notice me like that and I knew it
She gave me the first piece of cake
even before her parents could take..
Once the party was over
I waited at the gate for her
She came close and hugged me
to say "this was my best b'day party ever"
and kissed me on my cheek
I wanted to tell her that I love her
but words went dry, as I was a bit too shy
and I dont know why...

Turning my life to the next page
I could still remember the day of her marriage
She was dressed up in a
white wedding gown with a crystal veil
Her beauty made my words fail
There stood the girl, whom
I once thought as my 'best friend'
Now she is someone else's girl friend..
She came to me and said "you came !,thanks"
and drove off in the car
I wanted to tell her that I still love her
but as ever, could just keep looking
as I was a bit too shy and I dont know why..

Years passed faster than my eyes could blink
Ultimately life has to move on as we all think
I was standing next to a coffin
which had my 'best friend' peacefully sleeping in
I picked up her high school diary lying beside
and started reading what she had written inside
The diary read "I know this guy
who is my 'best friend'... I keep looking at him
wishing he was mine,
but I knew he did not look at me like that.
I wish he loved me too and pray everyday
that he comes to me to say 'I Love You'
because I just couldnt say, as I feel a bit too shy
and I dont know why.."

Trying to be a poet..

I did not know till yesterday
when people would say
there is a brown coloured choco bar
which is called a 5 star ...
i knew neither how it tastes,
nor how it looks
till my friend actually got one.
Since she had got just one
I didnt want to involve myself in
and wished she alone had all the fun..

It wasnt just one as I thought,
but was a pack of 6 she had got
Once the pack was open
as you know what would happen
each had taken one and
only i had to miss out all the fun
she did not remember me
or never wanted me in the eating spree
whatever had she thought
i had found a reason to be fought.

only later did i come to know
all about this candy show
i wanted to ask her why
she had not invited me for the party
but just buried it within me
with a deep sigh
i could still remember
the days i had showed her
how to share whatever we have in hand
with all those who stand
around us without any fuss..

but i couldnt resist asking why
even though i was a bit shy
i asked her where is my
share of the star
and why didnt she keep me on par
with the rest
all she had for a reply
was a quarter of the choco bar
not willing to take the argument any far.

I didnt know till yesterday
when people would say
there is a brown coloured choco bar
which is called a 5 star
i knew neither how it tastes
nor how it looks
Now that i have tasted a small part
I would imagine how it would be like
when she had actually bought
Just because i didnt want to break
my friend's heart.....

New Year Limerick !!!

An year is gone and the next is about to be born
as we all look forward to a new dawn..
By no means is this an end
but a pit stop for the days ahead and make ourselves mend
To get positioned better for the life to move on..

The day has come to bury the forgettable past
and to take with us the sweet memories till it can last..
Everyone would have had their pain and gain
but only those happy moments tend to remain
which is the beauty of a new year blast..

Today at the stroke of twelve
Start your celebrations with a jingle bell...
All you need to do is to call your friend
if you dont have a greeting to send
And remember, "HAPPY NEW YEAR" is what you need to tell...
