I need a friend

We played many games

We grew up together

Shared dirty jokes

And poked our teacher.

We bunked our classes

To watch latest flicks

We had great time

They called us 'freaks'.

We were like soul mates

Made for each other

A 'damn it' attitude

Never would we bother.

Dunno when I became too old

My fingers got wrinkles

Gray became hair

All of sudden, I found myself unwanted.

They all became fathers

Some good husbands

Few left our town

To settle far from here.

I don't see 'em anymore

They are out of sight

I am afraid my memory

Is getting frail very fast.

I want to laugh once more

I just need a friend

To play some pranks

And sob together.

Am not sure

Who will be sad if I die

If somebody will miss me?

Who knows !!!
