35 makes me feel OLD :(

 

Now everyday when I wake up

I feel I have a brand new life!

Has the number 35,

 trained my brain to make me feel old?

Or my fears to reach this age...

Have made me cherish everyday?

I do not know

What I know is.....

I thank the young girl I once was,

For everything she did :)

All the ups and downs she rode

To reach "MY PRESENT SELF"

I remember all her gloomy days 

When she gave up dreams she watered so well,

I remember her pure efforts,

That were not rewarding....but were right and made someone's days bright

:)


And here's my word

I give you today,

That our future self too

Will be giving and kind.

Hang in there!

 I want to be your best friend...

May not accompany you everyday
But I will wish the best for you
And hope that you live happy everyday!

You know, you need not be fair or strong
Or cool or smart or try to fit in somewhere...
You are wonderful as you are
And those who love you...
Will love you anyway!

I know what you went through,
Or how serious was your loss,
People say time can help you face things...
And you can...will be better when ever you try to re-start!

Every human faces things....
Some good, some very ugly too,
May be a little wait can tell you
What God really planned for you!

If there is no one to hold your hand
to comfort, hug and say it will be fine
Then my dearest friend,
gather all your puzzled pieces...yourself!
Don't wait for someone to help or encourage,
I believe in you!
Just give your best!

Does a spiral means a Yes?

 He took my hand...

Why didn't he ask!
We crossed the road...
he then turned
Looked at me
And said "it feels nice"!

I was not so shy
But in that moment, I froze!
I remember only two things...
the sound of my heart, and
The touch of his cold fingers...

He then opened my palm...
Before I could ask
He drew a spiral,
And started to walk towards my home.
....I would have drawn a heart if I were him....what does a spiral mean? I never asked ;)
Wait,
He was walking me home!
He was happy!that's fine...
He was even singing!
And ! He still held my hand!

I had to stop him
I told him I am an adult
And I could see.. people noticing...

To which he smiled...
Said - " I know, but I want you to feel nice
For some more time!
Let me walk you home...
Like I will...for the rest of our lives!"

I couldn't say no....
I did feel nice :)
With my warm finger
I drew a spiral too.
Since then, those 5 mins 
Turned into our golden walk.

**
After a decade,
 being in the same home,
I have to remind him-
I am an adult...
Because he still drops me....
Arranges my travels,
Messages me ten thousand times...and,
Acts as my manager !
