I was looking for a school friend's profile who died maybe a decade ago
It has been a while since 2015
Hard to admit
But on the process of looking for him
I realized another school friend of mine died last year
In April 2025
The last message with him was six years ago
When he sent me a poem that I wrote for my school magazine
I was so happy he remembered me
From the small poem of 1998
Now he is a memory too
I do not know what to make of it
My friend list is turning into a memorial
Less and less people remaining
To remind myself of who I was
To remind myself that I am redeemable
How can I tell them now that they were amazing
In their own rights
My school friend who had the wittiest remarks
The friend who had amazing authoring qualities
The neighbour bhai who took the most heartfelt photos.
They are all now names in a digital memorial
You were all amazing
You were all amazing
But my friend list is turning into a memorial
I do not know what to make of it.
