[Verse 1]
I remember 17 October — messages till sunrise,
Your name popped up like a secret on my phone that bright morning light.
Two strangers typing from different towns, tickets stamped, different trains,
Platform seven, morning crowd, I watched you blur through windowpanes.
You felt shy, a little boy, cheeks hot like a hidden song,
We both wrote small confessions, then the words grew long.
[Pre-Chorus]
Seven to eight hours, the chat would never sleep,
Voice notes threading midnight, promises we'd keep.
You laughed at my bad jokes, I learned the cadence of your sighs,
Little rituals — first bites, the way you checked I ate on time.
[Chorus]
From platform seven to the same sunrise,
You are my pocket of light when the long night cries.
From midnight messages to mornings with your smile,
I promise I'll be home for you across every mile.
[Verse 2]
We fought like two storms, then made up with popcorn and rain,
Watched a hundred movies, cried at scenes we couldn't explain.
English tuition books, you slammed your textbook, said “study more,”
Stayed up through my doubts and doubts were smaller than before.
That accidental meeting — coffee spilled, a shared laugh in the queue,
Two towns, same train length, and somehow I already knew.
[Pre-Chorus]
Your family strict as winter, still they found a minute to speak,
You carved out time between their rules and every risk you’d take for me.
You asked, “Did you eat?” yelled at me only for my good,
Held my mistakes like paper boats and taught me how to float when I could.
[Chorus]
From platform seven to the same sunrise,
You are my pocket of light when the long night cries.
From midnight messages to mornings with your smile,
I promise I'll be home for you across every mile.
[Bridge]
You risked rides, missed trains, every map you bent for one more try,
I remember Diwali lanterns — the night your family let me into the sky.
You left college to go home, your suitcase full of hope and home-cooked smells,
Mama asked me to take care, papa's silence melted into small hellos and bells.
I prayed for health for both our families, for a new phone you begged to buy,
You said, “Take care of yourself,” I answered, “I’m with you — don’t cry.”
Hitesh, we traded teenage promises for a lifetime in a breath,
We swore to hold each other’s hands from first hello until the grey of death.
[Chorus — Variation]
From platform seven to the same sunrise,
You became my steady harbor when the world runs wild.
From seven-hour messages to Diwali’s warm smile,
I keep my promise: I’ll walk with you every single mile.
[Outro]
We will age with laughter in the lines and silver in our hair,
Spend days from teenagers to older hearts who’ve learned to dare.
I’ll never let you fall — if I stumble, you will lift me through,
Happy Diwali, take care, my friend — I’m always here with you.
(Hug me.)
