I Will Always Remember You

There are certain people, with whom we may lose touch over the years; mostly due to them moving abroad, but whom we can never forget. Arthy, my friend and ex-MBA classmate, is one of them. This poem is dedicated to her. Here is the content:

I’m not sure you may remember me

But I will always remember you

You were not just a classmate

But also a good friend

Very warm and friendly by nature

Nothing could ever upset you

Not even the pressure of exams

Or for that matter, assignments

You had a constant smile on your face

And your laughter was contagious

You never judged anybody

Nor did you require an explanation from anyone

For his/her behaviour

You knew I was different

But that was never an issue for you

Because you had a heart of gold

And saw the good in everyone

Of course, we didn’t speak a lot

However, I never felt bored

While interacting with you

You spoke to me in English most of the time

Because you understood me well

Anyone who knows me, will be aware

That English is as good as my mother tongue

Of course, this is not to say

That I have any issue with speaking in Tamil

The point is

You understood me even better

Than I understood myself!!

Anyway, I am really glad

That you are living the dream

Your kid is growing pretty fast too

So, take care

And may the Lord bless you

With loads of love, happiness and peace
