A Bittersweet Goodbye

Standing on my toes,

Eyes closed,

Touching your lips for the last time.

I hate to say goodbye to you.

I hate to let us walk away.

From the hello,

That I’ve known you.

To this good-bye

We have to say.

The hardest thing

I’ve ever done- 

Is being forced to walk different ways.

Drowning in tears,

Can’t see what’s ahead.

The dreams we knit were beautiful,

The reality begged to differ.

Promises were forced to break,

The tinkling eyes,

And the sad smile.

Holding hands-

Till the time we had.

Watching the train,

Pull in- to way.

Holding each other-

Tolling for the time we had.

Slowly his face disappears,

As he follows my train.

Will we meet again,

Will this waiting ever end?

Going to two different parts of life,

From sharing just one.

Will in the future,

Our lives, intervene?

Will the love rekindle-

And remember its glory?

Will the time bring me-

What was always mine?

Of Apologies and Birthdays

Yeah. So, please don't kill us. I know it has been almost three weeks since our last post. Actually, this post was supposed to be by my best friend, but she's been pretty busy recently, so I get to make a post. And she has made me promise that no matter what, the blog has to be updated it once a week and I have to update it if she can't. So, yeah. Here I am. And we'r really sorry to keep you guys waiting. I can also promise you that there will be a post next week only because I'm anal enough to pre-write my blogs. This one's not pre-written, though. 

Today, I'd like to talk about one of my really good friend- Milica Smiljkovic. Her birthday was on 12th. I had wanted to write a fanfiction for her as a birthday present, but for some reason, that never really materialized (read procrastination and lack of ideas). So, I'm dedicating this post to her as a birthday present.

I met Milica for the first time on the facebook page called 'Peace.Love.Harry Potter'. There was a quiz going on and we were playing for our respective houses (she's a Hufflepuff and cookies to you if you can guess my house :P). She won, obviously. And I was awed by her quizzing skills. She was the first HP fandom friend I added on facebook.

We used to talk a lot. Thanks to her, I know a lot more about the world. I also remember dumping a lot of my issues on to her and she always gave me nice advice. I think of her as this badass person who can do anything she wants. But she also has this really sweet side. I think I've told her a lot of times that she'd fit in very well in Slytherin :P.

It's been close to about three years (?) since we've known each other and till now, she's the most awesome person I've met on facebook in HP fandom (Sorry Akash, Divya, Shirley, Lyndsey and others). So, for her birthday, I'd like to wish for prosperity, happiness and an interesting life for her (not that she doesn't have all these already, but still :P).

Milica, I know we don't talk much nowadays because of yours and my time constraints, but know that you'll always be very special to me :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
