And then.

And then there was someone,
A friend, an acquaintance,
seeps into the corner of her very soul.

So slowly and surely,
groping in the darkness,
witnessing dark crevices,
longing eyes,
confused mind,
Heart entwined.

She said, screaming into the night,
sending a chill down in that someone’s spine.
Sometimes in the middle of it all,
Sometimes not at all,
Sometimes she reach out,
And at others she need to be found.

Then, that someone made her realize,
I see you made of the same element as I am.
I see you in your reality and mine.
People happen,
People leave,
Let it hurt,
Let it bleed,
Let it heal,
Let it go.
Never to cry for someone,
who doesn’t make you feel.
So hold on…
Without regretting on tears,
Let me distract you for a meanwhile.

Keep looking at the part of room,
where light enters in.
You will be reminded again and again,
no matter,
What happens..
These shadows,
Can never hold you in.

Life is a tough teacher,
We protest like an obstinate child.
But you know what,
This is how life goes by.

So, to her dear friend ever,
Thank you for making her feel better.
