Lost and never found

How on earth could I lose you? I keep wondering every now and then. The answer seems to elude me no matter how hard I try. I tried, trust me I really did. I asked old friends, hunted you online, searched your number, even felt I came close but then I was just chasing a mirage.

How exactly we became the best of friends I don't know. Guess we were too young to even realize it then. All my early school memories are filled with you in it, the laughs, the fights, the tears, the fun and those quiet moments. They are still fresh in my mind. The time when I was sick at home the teacher said you refused to have lunch without me. You would complain to my mother that I run away every time you ask me to dance with you. In the class, girls sat in one group, boys in another but you would always boldly sit beside me. Fiercely you defended me when others complained. I could vividly recollect it all, every single one of them.

And then one day, just like that, you were gone. I frantically searched the entire school for you, demanded the teacher that you be returned, cried, fell sick, yet you never came. After all these years, I don't know if you still remember me, I don't know if you still think about me. Just so that you know, I still do.

:) Thats cute. As in most cases I think you have a larger than life image of that person. Pray that you dont meet her. She might be a letdown in real life and that could smash your dreams.

Am I being cynical?

Am sure she does in her own cosmos somewhere. It does feel good thinking back right?
