Ti Amo (Part 1)

I still remember the first day I saw you.I changed school after Lower Kinder Garten. It was a completely new place for me. I knew no one. I cried after the first day I reached home. But slowly, I got myself good company. And then I met you.You became my best buddy, atleast that's what we called ourselves then. We had been best buddies for like 8 months.

We assembled outside our class rooms after the Summer break in our first grade, for the section shuffling to happen.We promised to be together, but our teachers had other plans I guess. We parted ways. Never had I thought that I would forget you, but I did. I got new friends but no one could ever replace you. Eight long years I have spent without talking to you or meeting you. We both lived as we don't know each other. But I didn't care about it back then, at that time.

As they say Karma is a bitch, we landed up in the same section in tenth. But we weren't the same as we had known when we were kids. We had grown,from being alike and together, to opposites and unknowns. You were sitting in a bench right in front of me and I initiated our first conversation, after many years.You were sweet. We started talking. We were having fun in between classes, I was listening your tantrums,gossips and all other stuff. I didn't know why, but I enjoyed your talking. You would even complain regularly,about me being so tall, and you have to climb a stool to match my height.

Everytime I talked to you, you made sure I sit down and you stand up. Not out of respect but just so that our heights would match. Lol! Everything was going fine, when some immature,idle and narrow minded idiot, spread the rumour that we were seeing each other. You didn't know this until I told you and I asked you to keep distance. Something which I now regret. You were disturbed, but I assured you that everything will be okay. We joked about it for a lil bit that day, and you also promised me a cake for Christmas.

I didn't realise that I had fallen for you, until I wrote my first poem,"When I see you". I coudn't think of anyone but you, when my bestie asked me, whom did I write that poem for. I coudn't dare to propose to you.Because If I did and you reject,it would ruin our friendship as well.
