True Treasure

by Aditijain aged 13

We had a fight that day.
Yes, we had one
Maybe it was the alert alarm
of our beautiful friendship.
Even though of all the grudges
I still sneaked out of my bed
like any other normal day
ran to Thirteen Cross Lane
which was waiting
for those midnight gossip sessions
midnight laughter and snack parties
I was there waiting for you
gazing up at the sky
and realising how empty I was without you
just like the sky without
those twinkling stars
Suddenly I saw your red vintage car
how happy was I for that very second
thinking that I knew you inside out
but all my dreams shattered when
you didn’t reply to my usual statement
dropped our memory box out from the car
in the middle of the road
and drove away.
I was trying to reach you
Certainly it seemed like a
ray of hope in that dark hell
took that box which meant more
anything which was nine years old
and consisted everything of our friendship
that day
Sleep never came, memories never gone
I remembered each moment spent with you
and cried for the entire night
years after I still still know
we aren’t the same
I want to still cuddle you like a Teddy bear
I still want to spill my emotions without thinking
but now I say
I will always miss you!
