I Bid her adieu...

I turned at the sound of her payal,
Reading  her face was always a trial,
Faint expressions broke lines on her face,
Her eyes looked dazed,
She looked beautiful as always,
Poise, Composed & Frail.
She left a sigh,
As she walked into my arms,
"That's it! I have got it!"
I knew she always wanted it,
How proud I was, just cant explain,
Happy moment, yet it pained,
My best friend is going away,
How I wish could stay,
I need her, difficult bidding her adieu,
Her dreams, her aspirations were always true,
Passport in her hand she was all set,
A eerie silence within me crept,
"Ok... bye... cya" she said as an old habit,
With a smirk, I said "Ya Right!"

She walked towards the terminal,
I didn't want her to turn,
And she didn't, and
I watched her go.

Suddenly my cellphone buzzed,
'Must be her' I judged,
"I will miss you loads...
Paused and then she said, "I need you too"
'Too?' She had read my mind,
A smile broke on my face,
" You take care & call once you reach"
I choked..
And ended it there,
'Goodbye' was difficult to say

Just Friends...

"Just friends?” I questioned,
"Ya, let’s just stay as friends", I hear again,
A pinch, I twitch,
"You sure?" a hope, 'Change quick'
Just a thought,
A tear behind my eyes was caught,
“Yup!” came with a reluctance in the voice,
Knew it all this while,
We had travelled almost a mile,

We sat, dined & now concluded,
Within me something went dead,
“I think I should leave
It’s getting late… I should move”,
“And move on too…” I looked down & said,
Heard a sigh & the moment silenced.

And then a clink,

Round platinum band,
Dropped on the table,
The opposite chair was now empty,
I picked up my coat,
And I was ready to go,
Where???
I do not know…
