for dweebz

you pulled my hair when we were 2
me the ever-forgiving still loved you.
you saw your folly then and brought me toffee,
though now you can't get why i don't drink coffee.

i wrote you a poem for your 18th birthday
we learnt lyrics together, of random songs we played.
we hid french fries and shocked your dad
we had terrific times, and then we had the bad.

yes we've come down a long and winded path
we've become opposites in life and it's aftermath,
our name is all we have in common, i know.
you love cats and me...oh, you know!

you laugh at my blog and i laugh at you
and i don't even understand what you really do
and you say you don't get what i'm on about,
we wear different lenses, without a doubt.

you think you're on the 'outside'
i say it's all in your head
the problem is that you
never listened to what i said :)

yet we have fun, we have to agree,
who else can come and make me bhel-puri?
and who entertains you as much as me
you have to admit that "you luuuuuuuvrrrrrrrrvee me"!

And of course you won't admit that...coz that'll mean that you agree with me :)

And the poem is about "Memories" and you have trancenced the vagaries of life and written a wonderful thought in wonderful verse to remind us all that memories are forever ....
Well done Sattva
