"The Star- The Journey of a Friendship"

Full moon, soothing and serene moonlight all over
cool breeze, fragrance of roses, peace, all around
gazing, my usual routine, upon the stars in the sky,
life was pleasant.

Suddenly one Star caught my fancy.
Alone and Solitary, Glowing brighter, Elegant,
Charming, Cool
It was different!
Enamoured with its warmth, I came closer.
An innocent smile greeted me. I felt like talking to
it.

Impressed with the cultured manners, I developed
affection and love.
A bond developed, pure and genuine, of understanding,
of care
I made it my friend.
Fondness kept on growing; Time lost the track in its
company.

Perhaps I couldn?t see my own happiness
I tried to catch it, own it, and finally made it feel
uncomfortable
Forgetting that it was a friend only, although special
But still a soap bubble, which would disappear one day
anyway
But I let that happened faster
When it was disappearing, I cried in my heart, wanted
to stop it
But couldn?t do for I had no right on it
For it was a friend not a family
I learnt that the hardest way, by losing it
I let the tears remain inside me; no one would ever
know what happened
Only I would live with the pain
I know "That Star, My Friend" had gone.

For good!
But my heart knows it will remember the star
Forever, for its warmth, for its straightforwardness,
for its affections
So pure and sacred were my bondings, so are they and
so will they remain.
Forever!
Forever!!
Forever!!!??
