When I look into the mirror,

My loss stares right through me…

The emptiness has a colour and it’s dark,

Your voice cuts through me when you say Good bye.

For years I have known you,

and yet I haven’t known you at all,

This is where our dreams part,

Where I let you go,

I wouldn’t frown,

I wouldn’t whine…

I wouldn’t shed a tear for something that was never mine

and I return to what was my ever mine…

My solitude, My true friend!!!

When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and You shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.~Kahlil Gibran
