Friends Departed!

Friends are the best things that can ever happen to a person. What’s so special about these people who accept us without any expectation? What makes this relationship so special that these people are there for you no matter how big mistake you have done or how big loser you are in life? It’s one relationship that I would rate more than any relationship in this world because these are those special chosen few who’ll make your heart light even at the most defeating moments and give you an assurance that you can still do it.

For my share, I have had a couple of friends who have been very close to me since school days. They have been my best buddies in school and we have shared some wonderful moments together. But then I’m really not sure for what reasons, that these special friendships have been limited to a couple of few years when we shared the same class and then ended badly once we were separated. My friend Leena, was one of my best friends since LKG, I think. She was always there for me and we have got several punishments together, I guess. But our friendship ended when we were put into different classes in eighth grade. When she got a new set of friends, the possessiveness cropped in and it in turn resulted in the end of the friendship.

In similar lines, was my friendship with my class mate Divya, we were in the same classes through-out our school lives. But we became best of friends in the last 3 years of our school life. We were very close to each other and the entire class knew that we were best pals and couldn’t stay without each other. But then after school days, in PU, she chose science field and chose commerce. So we were in different classes and she made a new set of friends and I was so possessive about her that this really affected out friendship. I just couldn’t take it when she was hanging out with others than me. And finally our friendship ended. Even today i.e. after six years I still miss her like crazy. She’s come in my dreams many a times and I think about her at least once in a day.

Like this all of us lose our dear old best friends for some stupid silly reasons, maybe a fight, a misunderstanding, and an ego clash or for several such reasons. But in such trivial fights are our most dear and close ones lost and we never get them back no matter how much we try. I regret those days when things ended sourly between me and my friends and I am ready to do everything possible to get back things into the same notes. But then it’s sad that time or our friends don’t wait for us. Once friendship lost is lost forever. Never can it be got back no matter how much we try.

Though I have a wonderful set of friends now, who are always there for me, this grief of losing some precious gems in my life will always be there deep in my heart. I wish I could go back into the time and get all my best friends whom I lost for various silly reasons. I wish we could resolve all the issues and be friends like the way we were before. I wish we could get back all the fun and recreate those wonderful moments that we had together. I wish we could start all over again and forgive each other.

I wish I could get back all my friends departed!
