a tribute

you were my truest companion
you were my truest friend
you were there when i needed someone to talk to
you were there when i needed a hand

you woke me up every morning
even on the rainy days
you were in on my conversations
conveyed my smiles, frowns & craze

you knew the unsent stories
the ones that remained on store
and i could count on you to remember
details that would normally bore

you were always a good mediator
and had a keen eye for pictures too
(mostly) quick and intently capable
you humoured me even when i needed the loo

i only had one gripe -
you weren’t really the ideal size
but im not one to complain much
especially in the face of such a prize

sadly i didn’t see it coming
your departure was sudden & swift
someone stole you from me
its now too late for what-ifs

now that youre gone
ive got to look for someone new
someone who is sharp & quick
someone as reliable as you

i need to recollect those secrets
new memories out there to accrue
but while i find this new companion
know that i am missing you… :(
