I witnessed a strange sight today. A Strange realisation.A restoration of faith. On my way back home, boldly facing the tormenting sun, I got a glimpse of a lady with a child. The child looked joyful and happy. The mother looked strong. Stronger than the sun maybe. She held her daughter's hand and almost dragged her. Dragged her? The girl was willingly dragged. Her shoes were covered with a film of brown mud. A coating. A cast. Her gait seemed forced. Her hair matted with oil and her dress looked a bit shabby.

Dried petals.Dried memories. You don't feel the same... The change is visible. The change in you. "Love is short. Forgetting is long." Nothing lasts forever, will you be my nothing?             ----Madhulina💋
