Forgive U' my friend

Aabhipsa dear,

hope U do remember

Obviously twenty years gone,

but my memories still on

Same bench we sat in d' class,

 lunch often we shared

secrets to each others ear

we regularly whispered

Got detached, lost contact,

friendship instantly over

we sifted to another town,

on my father’s transfer

Of course after long years,

it's strange to write U now

but wish to get relieved,

of a bulky burden somehow!

Carefully listen, take a decision,

if excusable, kindly pardon

I’m married,

with a ten year old son

a caring husband,

a life with perfection

Everything just wonderful,

each moment joyous, peaceful

Happy times don’t last forever,

someday face a rough weather

Back from school,

came my son, drained, tired,

school outfits hurriedly out,

and went for a shower

To remove lunch box,

I opened his school bag

Got shocked,

found something strange

Saw, to my utter surprise,

 a gold medal in a silky box inside

A fortnight back,
in school, an announcement,
for sports, games and other events
Excited about spell fun competition,

prepared well and a 3^rd prize he won

utterly dejected, felt he’s no good,

whole day upset, refused food

I immediately realized, 
it’s not his prize

Confronted him,

 and ultimately he confessed

Everyday my friend,

 showed us d’ medal, boasted

not able to endure, so….

I got d’ message,

 slapped him hard, out of rage

 So harsh to him, for d’ first time,

whole night kept on silently weeping

I had confided something inside,

 revealed to none, though I tried

Truth ignored then, completed d’ cycle

but a rude way it occurred,

can’t imagine at all

U’ the only one,

 to whom I can confess

Similar incidence happened,

 twenty years back

Solo song competition,

 both of us participated,

U declared d’ champion,

 I was just ousted

I couldn’t bear your success,

and the way d’ prize U flaunted

Finally it's me, who stole it from u,

till today I possess d’ bronze statue

My sin did penetrate my chest,

unless I confess, calmly can’t rest

“Sorry” a small word,
 to heal your sore,

even it’s a young days’,

silly kiddy blunder
slowly it's turning to be a

 gloomy hefty burden,

I’ll be fully relieved,

 if U accept it in return

Love U, despite everything 
that had happened

You were so nice,

to U, life ought to do justice

Whatever decision U may take

I pray for your success

In my absence came d’ courier,

watchman had collected, 
handed me over

Opened d’ package, dropped a letter

in a single breath, I read it over

Now thrilled to see d’ packet 
full of suspense, hard to guess

Excited to open d' parcel,
 can’t wait further

in super human speed,

 tore it’s wrapper

Securely packed with foamy cushion,

felt its fading edges, 
 as if a new born

Gently glided finger,

 in each bend and corner

it's my lost pride possession,
now I could  remember 
Can't forget those glorious days,
college function weeks

sweet thrills melted,

trickled down my cheeks

Childhood memory flashed,

 back in my mind

Joy of high voltage,

nothing’s of its kind

Held d’ memento close to chest,

 whispered at d’ end,

Of course I forgive you,

forgive U' my friend
