When I reflect on those days by the side of the vast sea in Visakhapatnam,
You're among the few who remained steadfast, akin to the wistful waves.
We cling to countless memories, sculpted by the waters of time, much like the tides caressing the shore,
As I once gathered pebbles along the coastline's edge.
Just as the sea, with its unfathomable depths, shapes destinies, our connection endured,
Yet unforeseen events now leave us trailing behind, akin to the receding ebb and flow.
Still, we cherish the moments shared, as the sea water kissed our feet on sandy shores,
Though friends depart, like the moonlit nights that grace the beach, loneliness lingers, akin to the calm sea.
Yet within the shared consciousness of these seas, solace is discovered,
Regardless of the winds that guide us, we are all bound for the same shore.
