Who has forgotten whom?

a poem by Ramesh T A

Back home I got the phone call;
Friend of mine phoned long time after.
“Have you forgotten me?” asked he;
“Who has forgotten whom?” said I.
“Wait for ten minutes, I have work.”
“Okay, I shall wait for you.”
How long can I wait for him?
The phone when picked up, ‘engaged,’ came the sound.
So, who has forgotten whom?
It’s a question that lingers long.
Don’t know when this remembering and forgetting will come to an end.
Only my dear friend has to answer.
So, to remember or to forget? That’s the question.
Who has forgotten whom and who remembers whom? I wonder now!
