The sun traverses the sky in its daily routine,

The day grows by as do we age, and leave back our teen,

Every day brings a bit more of maturity.

You and me will be as we always are, ruthless beyond charity.

You complete me, in every sense. I am nothing without you,

The laugh echoes in my longing ears, the bliss is like a matinee queue,

Buddy, you are the fella-I love the most,

I know you love to dine with me, along with some juicy roast.

Sometimes I don’t know what exactly you are,

Sometimes I feel you don’t know that you care,

No matter how far we are, how old we become,

Your bastard words will always be welcome.

Every evening it’s the market for us, the food attracts,

“Rabdi” does indeed taste sweeter, the purse contracts,

Still we fight and abuse each other over the bill,

Sometimes you win and sometimes prevails my will.

We see  the market entirely, but we don’t know what we look for,

We roam up and down, searching for food to devour,

Still a “dosa” is protested by you, as is a “pappadi” by me,

We end up tasting both and run to that alley to pee.

You are lazy beyond imagination, you sacrifice is amazing,

Lucky am I to befriend you, your silence is blazing,

Your sense of humour is a bit bore,

Still I love being with you, even when my thoughts are sore.

We are Godless, you and me, heavens forgive us,

Crazy things we do, our fear we do toss,

80 kmph is too much for my scooter to handle,

But with you, everything is as calm as a candle.

We fuck up our semester, still we have fun,

I never gave you a birthday present, I let you a free run,

Never did  ya complain my irregularities and odd roaming,

You do come eagerly to pick me up on my homecoming.

Every day in dhenkanal is brightened by you,

I wish you were with me, I wish you had taken the cue,

It would have rocked to have you with me in college,

Free to roam in BBSR and miles away from bondage.

You are God-knows-what to me, I have no words,

You tease like hell but that’s all right coz it retards,

My depression and heightens my mood-

I’ll never part from you and neither even death would!
