Walk Beside Me

Maybe I was meant to wander, To seek comfort in corners, To find beauty in edges, To find happiness in pieces, To find blessings, In other's left over. Maybe I was meant to be something, An eye of a storm, Where you seek solace, When it is tough. But you never wish, While enjoying summer time, A shadow where you hide, When the sun is high.

I love you all and you love me, that's so fair. Yes, we are the best friends and forever I swear. I love you so much and miss you a lot. - Pranavi Darsi

Warmth, that is enough to melt all my fears. Today, while sitting in the coffee shop, I said Vivaan that one day, just like everyone else, you'll also leave. You'll have to go. And then again, I'll be all alone, shattered and broken. Vivaan again uttered the same words, "Just hold my hand". This time, I didn't. Instead, I had a question. I looked away at the clock that was striking 6:59pm. And I questioned Vivaan, "Hold my hand? Until when? Where will you take me?"
