Best Friend

By Mansi Chotia

You know what is the reality

I still think of you

Internal monologue about you

Imaginary conversation with you

Telling you the reason

Hoping you will understand

That, we were never best friends but;

“Foes disguised as friends”

I still think of you;

Not empty of you

But, too full to be with you

Not missing you

But myself-

“the kid inside of me that only you know.”

Hoping not to meet you again

So, my inner child stays alive 

Atleast as someone’s 

“Memory”.
