SENSITIVE STRINGS

The Greatest Day

My teardrops never ever dried they were stitched into my bedsheets,
And with every dose of laughter, I would die and cry myself to sleep,
Even on our best days, it comes out in worse ways,
Running away from the problems like pouring out a glass of whiskey,

I sit on the staircase everyday, and picture nothingness into my everything,
I look out through the grills down to the sunbathed street in front of our homes,
It takes me back to the time when 9'o clock and we would still be on the streets,
Playing hide and seek,
Running around, cause we were children,
And the uprooted aunty from 403 would call us freaks,

These memories are all I've left,
You're drifting away,
And we're distancing a hundred universes apart each day,

I still smile at the time I spent with you,
All the plain rusted ideas of holiday chores, with you,
And how you always made it seem magical,

Walking around seven blocks with you,
Running around the Diwali shops with you,
It was all so fun,
And I never don't cry,
Cause I didn't have any reason as to why,

But now I sit here with my empty suitcase,
Thinking about that time,
All the magic that we had is kind of fading away,
Am I right?

And I miss your calls nearing midnight,
Hearing your hellos but now I am starving for your goodbyes,
And I thought when this day comes, we both would cry,

Now who will tell our past selves that we don't even look each other in the eye,

But let's not ruin their time,
The precious memories they're creating without knowing any results in the hindsight,
And we were so young right?
We were so cute,
I remember you siding for me and taking care of my every minute dispute,
And I know you still want to text back and I know you still want us to go back to the right track,
But my train's leaving soon, and you're still not here.... it's almost half past noon,

I can wait forever,
You were the first friend I made ever,
But it's sad to think that you are slowly becoming a memory in my brain,
Somewhere sitting crouched in the corner,
Lost in the haze of our "forever",

And I never understood jigsaw puzzles,
I just knew I loved my time that flowed with the idea of you,
Every day so new,
Until you didn't want me to,

Come to your home,
And you left me all alone,

But I remember all the happiest times,
And I remember all our pretty white lies,
That we'd tell our parents everyday,

We would shatter the windows of the neighbourhood by screeching and shouting each other's name,
To call each other out so that we could dance together in the rain,

Just remembering the happiest times with you keeps me afloat and my negative thoughts at the bay,
So please don't distract me,
I'm traveling back to the greatest day.
