You spoilt me with your calls,

Calls that stretched for hours and

Talks that were so easily flowing.

We talked about this that and everything,

It was never those mushy calls

Where we talked about our feelings.

They were the calls of bitching about the day,

And everything else at college.

And then you stopped calling.

You had other friends too,

I know.

You were always on call,

With one or the other person.

But come lockdown,

Your calls never came,

And,

The absence of a friend,

Felt heavier than a heartbreak.

The heart constricted,

And felt heavy

at odd times of the day.

No.

Calling wasn't a compulsion,

But the lockdown

Wasn't easy on my mind.

Talking on calls,

Was the new normal,

Made me feel like,

Yes! This wasn't just a friendship

Born out of seeing each other everyday.

I wish I could call you,

As frequently as I wished too,

For I missed talking

About how crappy the lecture was,

Or how did someone say this or that,

You know, share the happenings!

All I needed,

Was a friend.

But, you not calling,

And yet talking to everyone else,

Well, just made it seem

Like I would be piling on.

You had other friends too,

I know.

But I had you,

And then I didn't.

If you read this,

Give me a call?

P.S- College was easier, thanks to you :)
