I only wanted my Friend

I only wanted my Friend

A Poem by Jayashree Ghosh
"

Love felt but friend betrayed and left

"
I remember the day 
Which was the big day of my life, 
I was hoping for something special.

It was birthday 
But my parents' quarrel 
Made it a sad day! 

There's a negative side 
Of being a single child. 
I wished for someone 
To feel my pain inside. 
I posted a status update 
Saying "feeling sad"
You saw and read my words. 

Ten days later, 
You came to my house 
And took me to the mall. 
You had arranged a belated 
Birthday party for me. 
I asked,"Where's my gift?"
You replied,"What do you want?"
I smiled and said,"Only a few minutes,
From your daily routine."
You promised to me that day, 
"Our frienship shall last forever... 
I will never leave you alone..."

You and me rarely talked in school. 
You were a shy guy and me a calm girl. 
Both are single child 
Both share painful past. 
I thought you and me 
Are made for each other. 
Time passed and I started liking you. 
You used to appreciate my uniqueness, 
I remember. 

How foolish! 
Melted away by compliments... 
Just like that? 
That day when I wanted to tell you 
How I feel, 
You said you didn't like the topic. 
Silly that I expected you to listen to me. 
Silly that I tried to speak my heart out 
To my 'Friend'. 

Just see my stupidity, 
I thought-- 
"You are so innocent, 
Not corrupted by today's world.."
To whom everyone is good 
Such an optimistic you are, 
So pure and kiddish 
Who don't want to hear about 'love'; 
An adult word. 
Not prepared to understand a woman's heart! 

You were angry 
And I spent hours trying to apologize 
For a crime I didn't commit. 
I cried for a whole week 
Thinking you will forgive me... 
I felt guilty for hurting an innoncent guy. 
I couldn't forget 
Couldn't accept the fact that you stopped 
Replying to my messeges! 

Days passed away... 
A month later you came to see 
My condition. 
You said you knew everything, 
Actually... 
You were testing me! 

Testing me? 
Really? 
For what? 
I-I thought you were innocent 
A guy unique from others! 
It's ok not to feel the same way 
But why did you spoil our friendship? 

Few more days later 
I came to know that 
You are in love with another girl. 
You stopped contacting me 
Forever. 
Why? 
You were my best friend!
