Forever

By Parnika Garg

Stealing away all my sorrow,

By lending me a smile he himself had borrowed,

Asking me to know if I am actually fine,

Pushing me up through all depths of time,

Listening to all my stupid talks with delight,

Standing right beside me in life's every fight.

Making fun of me is probably his favourite pastime!

But when I need him his back is right behind.

Staring at me as if I am his last hope of light.

Protecting me as if I was a child of nine,

Bothering me with his every act,

And that is really a fact!

With him life proves to be so much fun,

But without him even the butterflies seem to be dull.

I am addicted to him like mornings first tea,

I dread for the day he will leave me,

With my hands crossed,

Hiding my eyes frost,

I just have one pray,

To make him forever stay,

To make him forever stay...
