Every moment in school, we were together
\nIt had been six years now, as fast friends
\nWe had a bond, one that was possessive
\nShe was my anchor and I was her bestie<\/p>\n
Our eyes always sought each other
\nEven in silence, we knew the other’s thoughts
\nFrom the moment we stepped into the school bus
\nTill the moment we bid goodbye, we were together<\/p>\n
I was out of action, ill, in seventh grade
\nFor nearly three months, pain was a constant companion
\nI missed my friend, like never before
\nI pushed myself to get well soon, so that I could see her<\/p>\n
Finally, I walked, one day to school
\nOne foot ahead of the other, with a plaster on my left thigh
\nMy eyes sought her, I went to sit with her
\nBut she had found a new friend, in my time away<\/p>\n
The hurt was sharp, my tears flowed in private
\nMy confused mind, laden with medicines, refused to accept
\nWe did not have phones then, to check on each other
\nI did not expect her to get my address, to visit me home<\/p>\n
Yet, I thought, she would be the counting days too
\nShe would wait for me to recover, and embrace me
\nHer warmth would wipe away my pain, I would be whole again
\nThe shattered pieces of my heart left me bleeding, silently<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
