The Days that Stay Forever!

Context - That day I missed Debasmita, so badly that I wrote these lines on a whim for her , at midnight 💗 Not a single line of this poem is an exaggeration. The title is chosen by her , for completing my poem. This is probably the first very personal poem that I am uploading here , in an attempt to make it stay forever at least in the digital space. 💗💗

The poem lines once again just for ease of reading 👇

The days that Stay Forever!

It's not every day I swear,

In the middle of the night,

I idly sit;

These memories sweep in,

How? I am not aware!

I miss us decoding texts together,

Trying to make sense of each other's poetry,

Criticising and Validating;

Our lines were on fire !

 Those days when I used to say,

Melancholic and nostalgia ;

Your themes , that you best bear !

Oh , how long has it been...

When I last compared our poems?

How I enjoyed, when they came out to be two sides of the same coin!

So today I shall reverse our roles...

Try to pick up your themes,

And my words on paper shall roll!

For today I am missing;

An important friend;

An obverse of my soul !
