"Simple complications"

I saw someone
At the school bench the other day,
And without even realizing
I saw myself walking her way..

Introducing myself
I said a shy 'hello',
She was alone, a newbie
And seemed a bit mellow..

Befriending her
I offered her a hand,
We could be friends now
Won't it be grand?!

Years passed by
And she grew on me,
I hope I grew on her too
But t'was something I couldn't see..

Through the ups and downs
And birthdays galore,
Life was moving fast
And felt like a guided tour..

Late night talks
Of boys and painting nails,
Laughs and weeps alike
All left their precious trails..

Then there were changes
Of nature, body and mind ,
I chose to ignore them
Another friend, where could I find..?

Grappling onto the past
Was horrid and futile,
It wasn't anyones fault
It would just take Me a while..

Adulthood came all of a sudden
Nothing as I'd expected it to be,
There were others in her life
Did she not need me?

Fights and quarrels
Misunderstandings by the tonne,
Craving for attention
It was not a battle lost or won..

I took a deep breath
Re-visited memories to store,
I knew then, forever does not exist
It's only a weekly chore..

Walking up to her
I decided to let her know,
She was a keep for me
No matter where she would go..

It was not exactly a loss
A turn in life I'd say,
Losing a friend to another
Is like stowing her away..

And then, in a momental blink
I made a selfish wish,
A wish to bind her with threads of steel
For I was stowing her to a relationship...
