Not just-another-bench-mate!

I think of them - beautiful times
    Taken to the past by a far church's chimes
Those pleasant days when I knew to smile
    My mind not yet caged by some bizarre file.

You, me and our ill-humored jokes
    Funny nose-cuts and cunning pencil pokes
So rude on the outside, possibly even psycho
   But it was fun to gobble your sneaked jell-O.

How I envied you when you got pox
   No boring homework and a whole week off!
The times when we came early to class
   Shared sick gossips and the bell rang too fast. :(

Those wild picnics, stealthy lunch outings
   Even the long cycle trips and anti-exam strikes
Everything we planned stood half-way
   Little did we know, we weren't there to stay.

I think of you when I want to feel happy
   Oddly enough it makes my day more gloomy;
The weight of missing you seems to last forever
   It haunts me when I try to forget even harder!
