Wish You Were Here...

Some nights I spend just thinking about you,

My mind says "What a waste!", but then

What's vocation without avocation?

Because that is what makes me myself.

Sometimes I wonder if you were here

How different would life had been!

We'd laugh, we'd talk, we'd do many things,

Or probably, I'd just stare into your eyes,

Those deep romantic chasms that they are.

But it's funny how things can be so different,

Just because of the prejudices we have.

Maybe you didn't know me well, but

In my defence, I only got half a chance.

I know people who say I'm friendly,

And yet others who think on the contrary.

I don't know which are more correct,

But ya, I value true friendship as much as life.

Oh, everytime I think about you,

I start pondering on why life's like this

And why it couldn't be with you, not without

They say whatever happens, happens for good.

I don't believe them; I have my reasons.

And even though you and I are so far apart,

Time will give us opportunity, hopefully.

Till then, it's me, my joys and my miseries,

And my lonely heart, doing what I have to.

To share my heart with you someday, I wish,

Till then, I'm here, I'm here without you...

One Day...

One day, I say, one day, you'll know

My worth, and realize I was true.

And it was never me who was weird:

I was just zealous, but it was you.

You thought I was a hypocrite,

Evoking laughter, pretending nice.

My kind don't ask big favours; for us,

A kind smile and honesty do suffice.

How ironic is it then to think,

That you indeed faked a smile at me.

Thought bigotry was supposedly my trait,

And you were an epitome of honesty?

You choose your friends, fair enough.

But isn't friendship arbitrary?

For anyone can be a great friend,

Given a chance, and not labelled "nobody".

I might be sad, disappointed, upset,

But only you can't be blamed much.

That zeal, in comparison, is displeasng,

The world favours normalcy such.

So live on, with your motley group,

Revel together, walk the narrow bend.

I might have lost your trust (don't know why),

But you, my dear, you lost a FRIEND...
