I flash back to the day you came in my life,

Entered my heart with smiles,

Neither we talked, nor got to introduction,

For some particular occasion,

Thou began to move with the passages,

Joined hands with me,

Called me thy brother and kept vociferating ‘Lala,’

But, came the twist along with the jealousy of our well-wishers,

Those feeling uncomfortable while watching our companionship,

With rancour, attempted to make us disparate like stars in the open sky,

Meandering in unbeknownst directions,

by now I feel alone,

I have no one to be accompanied with,

But only the graveyard around thy home.
