Me & My Friend
I am on the way to my home,
A walk away distance of 1 km from my office,
By walking on the street,
Nobody there in my visibility,
Then I thought,
I am alone in this beautiful street.
No, this is not true!
My close friend. also always with me,
He was following me wherever I go,
Still he is following me,
He is annoying me most of the time,
In many occasions he is in my left or right,
And most of the time he is just behind me.
I am always in anxious,
Why he is doing this?
Why he cant follow others?
I lost my privacy because of him,
I want to get rid of him as soon as possible,
But he was my close friend,
He is my close friend,
But nowadays I dont like him.
I want to protect my privacy,
I want more freedom than before.
I am not bonded to anybody,
He also not bonded to anybody.
Then why this entire he has to do?
Recently I start gazing at him,
I felt some thing somewhere misspelled,
I am disappointed and distressed.
He is getting pale and pale,
Confused with tempt and frustration.
One day I shouted, why are you following me?
I requested, please dont follow me any more.
The response was amazing,
He start weeping and wheezing,
Then promised,
From today I will not follow you,
It is unbelievable!
His weeping and wheezing become pale,
His giggles and laughs are streams,
Like flows from the mountain streaks.
Where do I go?
A thundering voice blinded me.
After a freak of moment I realised,
It was from him!
I never heard such a voice from him,
What happened to him?
Just now he agreed with me,
Now he is to break his promise?
He started crying at me.
My dear friend, he murmured,
If I have to go away from you,
Oh, no, no
That is unacceptable to me,
Better you have to come with me!
Otherwise, I have to die!
Why are you forcing me to die?
I dont want to die! He whispered.
Yes, there is something in his words,
I sat on the floor,
He is my best friend,
I have to protect him by solving this,
What is not clear to me is .
Why he has to die?
I can release him free,
If I have to die,
He has a choice of others,
And I will be safe!
Then he cannot follow me,
How would I know that?
Because I am a dead man!
