"Sometimes I get to feelin’, I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids when we were young, things seemed so perfect - you know
The days were endless we were crazy we were young,
The sun was always shinin’ - we just lived for fun
Sometimes it seems like lately - I just don’t know,
The rest of my life’s been just a show."
--Freddie Mercury, These are the days of our lives.
The encyclopaedia on the shelf, that you refer to.
The crutch, that you lean on.
The bedoom slippers, when your party shoes pinch you.
The "agony uncle".
The doctor you consult.
I was all that and nothing else.
Not any more.

Jekyll told me 'Hyde my friend, take my place'. So here I am! But if you think you know me from another time... all I can say is 'Welcome back!' Don't forget to mail me at [hydedward] at [gmail] dot [com.

I read ur poem something around three times...but it rendered itself largely inscrutable...atleast for me...but here is a personal interpretation:Those things refer to the things that u moved back to and found ur comfort zone or this mixed feeling of solace,tinged with a bit of nostalgia...but then it is no more..not any more...!I hope, i didnt piss u off!

It isn't a poem. :-) And I do not think it is inscrutable either. Look at them closely, and you will find something common to all of them.

dont you think that the people we feel this way about, are the people most elevated in our hearts? the people we love enough to lean on, to take for granted? i dunno. thats the way i always interpreted it that way. or tried to :)

The people we feel this way about, are the ones who will fall from grace. Sooner or later. :-)
Relationships are symbiotic. When they turn parasitic, they are doomed.

What is wrong with a parasitic relationship is the time that you spend giving a lot more and not getting any. :-)
What is wrong in letting a leech suck your blood? Only a matter of time before your strength gets sapped. :-)

yet leeches were once, and in some places still are, used for medicinal purposes.
point i'm making, perhaps, is theres nothing wrong with giving w/o getting ... u'll get a kick from the giving and that will be the purpose of it. ya, ofcourse if u take it to an extreme, its bad
but in every relationship, there's a balance. and its shifting. its never static and perfectly equal. never.
been texting / calling / mailing but no response. kahaan ho! just wanted to know how it went. fursat ho toh kindly drop a line to my home id

I was talking about one such extreme case. :-)
Texting/Calling? I haven't received any of those. I have responded to mails. Sent any today? I haven't checked the "other" GMail account. ;-)
