We are soul sisters!

I have written this poem for one of the finest people I have met in my life - Mahima. She is my friend and my soul sister. Since the time I have started writing, she has been asking me to write a poem for her. Firstly, I laughed and thought she must be kidding. But later, I came to know that she was serious about it. Today is her birthday and I have tried to scribble few lines for her. Mahi,  may be it is not as good as you expected, but you know, my feelings behind every word are true.

So many people we come across in our lives

Some walk with us a few steps and some a few miles

Only a few leave their footprints on our heart

Which remain there forever no matter how far we part

You are one of those to me, Mahi.

People may miss judge you as a facetious person

As you are many a time joking and kidding around

A few have known the mature, calm and loving you

I am glad I have met that unseen side of you.

In you, I have seen the most patient of all

The one who will bounce back if there is a fall

You are the one living with the truest spirit

Spreading happiness around with no limit

I have seen your tearful eyes when I cried

In you all my secrets confide

I have seen your laughing with my laughter

With you everything seemed much brighter

Our lengthy talks when we pour our heart out

And feel so relaxed as if there is no doubt

We have done all the crazy things together

Those times are memories forever

Every morning, as it was the most important task

“Geevi, what are we going to eat today?” you’d ask

Now, there is no one to tempt me for the tasteless food

Pizza, noodles or dosa nothing now tastes as good

You used to say – “Wow! Geevi you are so intelligent.”

Did not matter if it was ever relevant

And I was always ready to answer this as we knew

But now I can’t reply – “haina!” as I used to

Now as you have gone so far

Nothing can ever be the same as it was

No one can know what is going inside me as you could

No one can read my face as you would

Whenever I think of piglet and Pooh

It reminds me of us – me and you

Distance can never made us part

You will always have a special place in my heart

There can be some relationships so strong

 Not by blood yet they last lifelong

You are a friend, a motivator

Mahi, we are the soul sisters!
