THE ETERNAL LOVE

We might be miles apart,

But we are very close to each other's hearts.

Happy Rakshabandhan to my dear sibling,

You are boundless in energy,

Filled with love and affection,

Never have I met such a pure soul in my life,

Cheerful, joyous, and high-spirited you are,

Yet the tinge of nonchalance 

Makes you stand apart in my heart,

You hold a special place in my life.

Tears start rolling down my eyes,

As I go down memory lane, 

From the petty fights that we've had 

For the coveted TV remote, 

For I prefer Doremon and you prefer Ninja Hattori.

I feel sorry yet nostalgic,

For I used to tease you as Motu,

And you used to tease me back as Chotu.

Oh, the competitions we have had 

The running races in our apartment,

Hide and seek, lock and key, and many more,

The fights for the game console, 

Pulling pranks on each other,

Stealing each others' pocket money, 

Buying rasna packets, ice creams,

Giving me a shoulder to rest on,

Being a lifelong companion, 

Wishing you a very Happy Rakshabandhan.
