My daffodil.

Today, I see those two little girls

In my colony lane

I froze, arrested by our memory lane

The little ones, engrossed in building

Their mud castles and talking of angels

I thought of you, I thought of us

I thought of how we ate each others’ lunch boxes

Of school trips and lemon & spoon races

I thought of how we feasted on that one candy

While, laughed at the prejudiced ones that laughed us

For we laughed at what they missed out on

While they laughed at what for us was fun

Humph! How the notice board glasses were our mirrors

Gosh! The pinky swears and the sleep over nights, endless hours

That churns my stomach, how our school days flew

Bidding us a farewell, a good bye view!

On the other end, were we greeted

As we stepped together, by the experiences new

All that we wanted was everything

Crazy shopping, stalking, excessive facebooking

The malls, the Mc Ds’ earned bucks, all thanks to us.

The cake backing, French classes that spelled of lush

To have faced heart breaks together

“Why the hell do you have to put up with this,

He’s a jerk, don’t you see?” yelled at each other

I stand here, as I see, The wall of pictures screaming

At me, of you and of I,

To have dreamt the bizarre dreams together

The chips packets that we’ve dived in together

The mango showers drenched together

The freezing star gazing, blue blanket shared together

The humongous drooling that we raised from others

Their raised eyebrows spelled of jealous

Who thought otherwise, we made them believe,

That, with time we only get stronger

To have bonded by the code of loyalty, bonded by love

So they now call us, almost twins, unbiological sisters!

So, when I see the little ones building castle, I tell them

Of how and what she is, the dynamite Miss!

The eyes that oozes oomph, her disclosure owns awe

Yeah! My soul sister she is

She makes the guys go weak on knees.

One sarcastic look of hers,

You’re bound to doubt your most certain answers

The poise, the positivity she spills around

The geeks turn freaks and fall to the ground

For the sacrifices she makes, for the drama she takes

She is a conqueror, she is a star

Now that I am at it, I relive

Of unbroken us, on the shores of the breathing sea

Of crazy us, that jumped the puddles

Of canny us, that victimized people

Of each time we went bonkers

Of evil us, that discomforted folks

Of the hope, faith, love that we clasp

Of zillions of sunsets we chased

Of thousand ugly situations we faced

So many perfumes, in the mall we test

The memories of us, do not seem to rest

The little ones, building the castle curiously asked,

“Oh! You’re talking of the angel that we just discussed

But others rubbished that angels don’t prevail?”

And their little faces turned frail

 I assured them,

“I Have seen an angel, she lives with me

She is my best friend, my daffodil!”

Just like us,

The two little girls in my colony lane

Left me arrested by our memory lane!

Bum, this is for you...
Needless to say, I love you! <3
