Forever Mine

Eight days old was he when he came to me. And "it was love at first sight".

Loves morning tea, prefers chola bhatura than chicken, never stayed in chains, killed one goat, attacked 9 humans, got drunk once, got beaten up, fought cancer, fell in drains, bit me once (near my eye, and then didnt eat food for a whole day), hate cameras, prefer his bed than sleeping on floor, got jealous when he saw my youngest sister, .... got lost and then found.

For all his adolescence, his aim of life was: Bitches, Bones and Barking.

From past six years everyday, religiously pees infront of my ex-girlfriends house.

There were times when he came in front of my school and went back with me.

His relationship with me is different from any other. He has been there with me in one of the darkest and and brightest of times. We never expected anything. Been a very possessive friend. Never been explicit about his emotions. Never complained about anything. Understood me, I understood him.

Today dad told me you lost your first tooth, and now you are given boiled stuff for sometime... you growing old man. You fought cancer, you will deal with this too.

Its been exactly 12 years 9 months 12 days man and strange things have happened, I know. Life has not been fair to anyone, not to you neither to me.

I still remember when you went missing for three days, I almost died in those days. Thinking of you tonight. Wherever your next stop is, I am sure it will be better than this. Right now I am listening to "ordinary world" ... this one for you old buddy. Forever Mine.
