The Lost Friend
By Devika
Looking into the mirror,
I see someone.
She peers into my eyes.
Am I the one,
Whom her heart desires?
But when has she ever won?
Her pleas would never suffice.
A lost friend was she to me.
But today, it is not the same.
I see in her, a part of me.
My deep dismay and merry joys,
All reside in her eyes.
How long can she subside?
How long can I hide?
Today, as we reunite,
We smile at each other,
and wipe our tears.
As we embrace,
I feel our fears recede.
They could no longer persuade,
The course of my stream.
