#finding us

Wandering around the streets of a small town;

A small town with lonely streets;

I could barely see any living soul there

It was strange,

To see how the doors of every house were locked

I wandered,

With the hope of finding a place which I could call 'home'

But,

As the days passed,

My heart got heavier,

By carrying the increasing burden of my seemingly never changing reality and,

Slowly trying to kill my hopes with it

I felt like I couldn't handle it anymore;

I was tired ; I was sick ;

I was burnt out in all ways

"I think we need a break"

"We have been wandering around this small town for quite a long time now, don't you think?"

"I think it's better to leave this town now...,"

"..Maybe, this is not the right place to search for our home"

"Let's go somewhere else"

I decided to walk down this one road, not sure of the place where it leads to

"Seems like a long one"

I walked,

Sometimes, with no energy left after a long summer day;

Sometimes, completely drenched by rain;

Sometimes, with my legs numbed, by the cold winds;

And sometimes , enjoying the scent of the newly bloomed flowers that were dancing in the gentle breeze,

Until I found that place,

It wasn't home ;

It wasn't a place that I dreamed of,

Rather, it was an abandoned building

But still, I was happy to see a place where I could rest

Years passed;

And with every passing year, I have witnessed a lot,

I remember,

When I barely slept, under your leaking roofs;

When I painted your walls blue;

When I bought our calathea in a small pot,

I remember everything that I did with you;

Everything is beautiful;

Starting from the scars we gave each other,

To changing them into stars, together

Growing up with each other,

We have become each other's secret place, a comfort place,

Making you no longer an abandoned building;

And me,

No longer a homeless person.
