Your’s Truly

It has been ‭1,670‬ days to be precise,

You people never gave up on Me, Times when I lost hopes on myself,

And called it a quit, I gave up on myself,

What else could you expect from this Loser back then,

The one who lacked Consciousness about people?

Or the one who never cared about these pity little humans?

Yes, you taught me how people bond, How one can call a person “Bro/Brother/a friend”,

There were times when this demon fed on lives of the merciless,

Didn’t see any emotions breeding in myself,

When the world considered me as a workaholic alien, you took me close,

Fed me with your love, Made me understand the world,

Taught me how Humans react, Laughed at my jokes,

Each one of you had a distinct personality and way of seeing things,

I learned from you, earned different perspectives, It was just like a machine learning from a human, “How to Live Life?”,

When the world trolled Me, I would come running to you people,

Wouldn’t shed a tear but express my remorse towards this so-called “Humanity & Humans”,

You would just laugh at my state and respond “This is how Humans work!”,

And maybe bribe me with chocolate!

That’s how easy I was to win,

You knew each flaw of mine, Each happy moment of mine,

I still remember I was the go-to person when it came to Exams,

But this lion was getting old, I barely was able to concentrate on exams,

I would just come and sit beside you,

While you people forgot answers, by-hearting and understanding them over and over again,

I was there, seated, looking at you, thinking how easy Life had always been with you on my side,

And then I hear a voice “Kalyan, ee topicexplain cheyachu kada”,

And that’s when I would start vomiting out my whole intelligence about the subject,

Things were different back then, weren’t they,

When everyone used to indulge in college politics,

I used to be found in that yellow college bus, second last seat,

Listening to songs with my headphones on,

You would just come and sit before the bus, on the pavement,

And I would come running from the bus to just find the place beside you guys,

And would just listen to all the rambling that happens,

Things did change-over-time,

We barely speak once in 2 weeks,

Life was all about meeting new people, making new friends and moving-on, Isn’t it?

But maybe it was a bit different when I met you,

I found a reason to be alive, a reason to leave this so-called “Machine Life” of mine,

I found happiness in you,

You did tag me with different funny names, But I was the creative one,

You celebrated each of my victories, stood there with me,

And I would make sure that you are there with me every single time I step on this stage,

I would look back, definitely,

And count,

I don’t know what’s the bond that exists between us,

But every time I would be alone when thoughts cease to exist in this busy brain,

I would think about these human creatures,

The one who loved me for who I was,

The one who didn’t try to change me, but accepted me as I was,

This last time I would request you to stay,

Maybe forever with me,

Will you?
