Author’s notes: This is my first poem that I am submitting. It is a very long poem and nobody has ever read it. So please, I am depending on you all to read it and let me know how is it. Please leave a review. This is dedicated to my best friend ‘Ahmed Nazeem’ Best Friend I dreamt of you yesterday It broke my heart when I woke up Realizing that you were away Far away In distant lands I can’t see you You can’t see me Life is as terrible as it seems Don’t worry This isn’t a love poem Or maybe it is It is not for a lover It is for a friend Then how can I say it isn’t a love poem? Don’t I love you? Or don’t you love me? Don’t we love each other? Of course we do We are friends Bound by our very hearts It pains to know that you had to go away After so many days I saw In my dream I wish I had never woken up I wish I could have dreamed that dream forever Stayed with you forever It’s a strange world, we live in We don’t know how much we love each other Until we are separated from each other We never know how much lucky we are to have a certain thing Until it is snatched away from us Taken away from us Why does it have to be this way? Why do you have to life so far away? These are the questions that I ask to thin air Knowing no answer is going to come my way I could drone on like this for a long time Typing my feelings in a robotic way This may be a masterpiece This may be quite good poetry But actually It’s a piece of my soul speaking out The soul I had given to my friend in exchange of his Its still here Do not fret! You will for all eternity as long as I live Stay in my heart I only ask That I may also live in your heart I do not know how you may be feeling I just hope you are feeling just like me Living in misery NO! NO! NO! I do not wish to curse you! I would rather cut out my heart It is just a hope That you still miss me as much as I do you I am scared to show anyone my feelings I am scared to show them my poems Although like everyone else I have hunger for appreciation I feel insecure This is a disease For alas There is no cure We may meet someday We may greet each other someday We may talk someday I am forever waiting for that day This is an overflow of feelings Do you know where this is coming from? From the remembrance of you No other This poem is exclusively for you One dream of yours Broke the dam Which had been storing my feelings for you Feelings overcame me I was helplessly thrown in a sea of misery I do not want to exaggerate So I won’t add anything to make it more dramatic I don’t know how many people have went through this period All I know it is killing me deep inside The monster that had been buried inside me for two years Broke free in an instant When I saw your face in my dream What can technology do? It can enable us to see each other To talk to each other But it can’t enable us to feel each other It can’t enable us to feel our presence together Thousands and thousands miles separate us Hundreds and hundreds seas separate us I feel so helpless Nothing can be done to bring us together They say distance brings people closer In a philosophical way It may be true I am no philosopher I may not be a true poet But I do know That living apart from you Is nothing less than torture How I yearn for your company Days are hot And nights are cold I need you to keep me warm Deep inside my heart I think I am getting the cold shoulder from everyone They don’t want to be with me I can tell When we used to be together I could forget all my problems altogether People take to drinking alcohol When they feel that the world doesn’t like them They are weak We have to fight it God Almighty tests us He tests our faith in Him I try to pass that test May God Almighty forgive me if I do anything wrong It’s just that I miss you too much Life seems like a black and white movie With no colors for happiness It’s just dark and misery I hope I will be able to continue my life Trying to show the world that I am happy and content with life What is going inside me Only I myself And God Almighty knows How I miss your smile How I miss hearing your voice How I miss you Only I myself And God Almighty knows Right now I have written more than eight hundred words Only by thinking about you I guess I know now how some poet feels when they write poems Nothing can be done Nothing can be done Do you know why some poets repeat certain lines many times? It is to emphasize the point that they are saying Did you know that when it was time to say the final goodbye My eyes had been wet with tears? Of course you did not know Nobody knew except me myself and God Almighty God Almighty Who knows everything there is to know May He help me and you May God help me and you The grammar may seem a little weak of this poem There may not be good pair of rhymes But Shakespeare The great poet Himself did not rhyme words is his poems Now before I start repeating myself It is time to end the poem Now I shall save the poem and close this window Now I shall close my heart Now I shall try to face the world again May God Almighty bless you May God Almighty protect you May we meet again The End
