This Valentine’s Day , this song is for you, Sona

This Valentine’s Day , this song is for you, Sona We were just kids in 8th grade halls Two strangers walking past classroom walls Didn’t even know your favorite song But somehow my heart knew all along 9th standard, something changed From simple hi’s to feelings untamed One look and the world went still From day one, I knew you will Be my Sona… my always girl In this big confusing world March 25th, 2017 night You became my forever light School corridors and stolen stares Laughing like we didn’t care Passing glances across the class Making moments secretly last Late night texts before exams Talking ‘bout life and future plans Early mornings, tuition lane Waiting just to see you again Temple runs with folded hands Praying for us, making silent plans Every mischief, every smile Made my heartbeat run a mile You took your time to realize What I saw in your eyes But I was patient, waiting through the years Until you said yes, on March 25th, 2021 My whole world was always you Then came distance, miles apart But never distance in the heart One year strong, we survived it all Every tear made our love stand tall Finally “us”, no more pretend Best friends turned lovers in the end First trips, first flights side by side Holding your hand with foolish pride Now again oceans in between Different skies, different scenes But ten long years and still we stand With your name written on my hand You’re waiting now, counting days For your birthday, miles away And this time baby, I’m flying through Every cloud just to reach you From backbench love to boarding gates From schoolyard dreams to grown-up fate If forever has a face, it’s you My Sona… my always true No matter distance, no matter time Your heart has always matched with mine And till my last breath, I’ll say it loud — 9th grade love made me proud
