A Little Too Soon....

I dedicate this poem to the memory of my dear friend Tevindiran. May his soul rest in peace.

I watched you standing there,
On that morning filled with cool air,
With that cheeky grin and messy hair,
And the look on your face that said, 'I don't care'.

I can't believe that it was so fast,
I didn't know that a shroud was cast,
And that you being here wasn't meant to last,
Our time spent, like a blur, it's now in the past.

It was the night before Canteen Day 08,
That you helped me til it was very late,
And what a day it was, an unforgettable date,
The Fourth of April 2008.

You are always jovial and carefree,
To have that kind of attitude, it isn't easy,
You have what it takes to laugh in the face of adversity,
To put an ease on the stresses we face daily.

Ingenious you are, with crazy ideas,
Some that are plausible, yet some just plain weird,
But that is the person that you are, without any fears,
Maybe its a leaf out of your book that I should hold dear.

When we were down, you cheered us up,
With your jokes and antics, you just wouldn't stop,
Within minutes our worries, we let it all drop,
Our spirits lifted to the top.

The fact that you are not here,
Brings the sadness in my heart near,
But its not the sadness that I fear,
Rather, the lack of your jokes that we all hold dear.

You really are a true friend,
Stick with us through thick and thin,
Yet now there is a void to mend,
A space to be filled, this poem I pen.

My friend, you will be missed dearly,
This sorrow we must get through, hopefully,
For you liked seeing us laugh heartily,
And for that sake, we must hide this sorrow and be merry.

Our hopes and dreams we send,
That this emptiness we feel will somehow mend,
Our memories of the good times will last and have no end,
May peace be with you my dear friend.

Wherever you are dude, know that you will always be in our hearts, just as we know we will be in yours.
