Faded Ice-cream Days

Today I will take you on a journey

A journey back into your black and white days

.

Do you remember those days?

.

Those black and white days

which actually brimmed with colour

.

Pink blue yellow n' purple...yes all of them and more!

Those faded ice cream days,

.

When our mouths were filled with belly-aching laughter

and our tongues with joyful songs...

.

Days when you pretended to be asleep while still awake

just to surprise daddy when he came from work real late

.

That one day, when you met me

while still rubbing your swollen eyelids, our first day at school

.

Days when you fought for the red balloon and

that window seat in the school bus

.

Those days when you never ever lied

fearing the crows that would bite

.

Those days of muddy hands

when tears fought their way over your broken castle made of sand

.

Days when I played cop n' thief

while you were still happy with your kitchen set

.

Those days when we put every broken tooth under the pillow,

waiting for the tooth fairy... who never showed up!

.

That one day when I learnt losing a best friend is hard

especially when it was you in the lap of God

.

Because that's when u snuffed out

leaving me behind to write about..
