A friend that i never got...

I didn't know you when we met,
I couldn't understand.
Mistook you for my driving force,
My only helping hand.

Thought that there was none better,
Than this person i had found.
For you i could sacrifice anything,
Even my existence on this ground.

Have you ever sat on a winter evening,
And seen the lazy ocean hug the shore?
That's the closeness i felt for you,
And i wanted nothing more.

You said you'll be my best friend,
And i got all my silly hopes high.
How was i to see through all this pretence,
And know that all this was one big lie.

I wanted you to know everything,
Anything that could be shared.
If you had no intention of ever liking me,
why did you act as if you cared.

Why didn't you tell me the truth,
"Why" is all i ask.
Why don't you end it for once and all,
Please take off this mask.

Sometimes i feel its better to end this journey,
And start saying our goodbyes.
But then past memories fill up my heart,
And finally splash out through my eyes.

I still smile thinking about you,
You rest in my every thought.
I thought you were the best possible friend i could ever get,
When, in fact, you were a friend that i never got.

Happy Father's Day..

you were there from the beginning
you promised to be there till the end
you may not have been the closest
but you were my oldest friend.

you were there to feed me at midnight
you were there when i cried
to take me to parks and hold my hand
all the way through the rides.

i saw the world from atop your shoulders
and you never complained
you put up with all my demands
how much ever they sounded insane.

you were afraid and held my hand
when we were in a crowd
i am sorry if i have not been able to till now
but one day, dad,i promise i'll make you proud.

i never realised how lonely i am without you
that was until this very day
and with all these emotions flowing out of me
i wish you a very happy father's day.

PS: Dad, i hope this poem serves as the prelude to an apology of all the wrongs i have done so far.. :)
