The Forgotten Friend
by Ananya Sarkar
(Kolkata, West Bengal, India)
Dear friend
I haven't seen you in a while
And don't know if I ever will
So last night
I tried to conjure you in my dream
And talk to you
Ask how you were
And if you ever missed me
But we stood face to face
Like statues
Are we indeed statues?
Dear friend
I may have forgotten you
Have you forgotten me too?
