Long Lost Friend

Walking in the dark and cold alley

I saw you waving at me ,

Those feeble fingers and torned clothes

Yet smile of shining sun after heavy rain

I stared at the irony of life

Comparing you to mine

How with all riches in world,

I could never smile like that

We walked back in our own mayhem

Yet I carried a piece of the smile my friend,

Unknowingly you gave me hope

And I could never repay you back

Today, I m going to walk those long alley

With tinge in my eyes to see you again

To see the shine of the sun for the last time

Before I walk in the mayhem again .

Author Notes: Sometimes on a gloomy day you meet people who remain with you after all the time.
