Missing a Friend

a poem by Aarti Raheja

This day has come into my life
When I need to depart from him
My dearest and nearest friend
I am going to miss you a lot…

A person in my life
A smile in my routine alone world
With an ache in my heart
Now I need to depart from him…

Neither had wished so
Nor had expected to do so
But now with tears frozen in my eyes
I need to depart from him…

My best friend on earth
An angel in my world
Now I wish you were mine
But have a fear to loose you my friend…

You too feel the same
But time’s running out of our hands
Tears rolling down my cheeks
Praying to get you as a companion for life…

A cheerful acceptance on my face
My days now filled with dark loneliness
But its needless to show
As now I need to depart from him…

Searching a reason to stop you forever
And to not let you go elsewhere
Know its not possible anymore
So now I need to depart from him…

All the wishes for you my dear
And may all the love and luck favour you
Just wanted to say you would always remain in my heart
Thanks a million times for everything you have done…
