Weathered by time and circumstances, she lay in the sun.
Eyes closed and lips in a smile, she pondered the future.
It wasn't as bleak as it once used to be nor as lonely.
She looked at the vines trailing up the side of the house.
Even they has something to cling onto; brick or each other.
She ran her arms in the water, remembering love filled moments.
Being carried in the rain, as they rushed to make it to shelter.
Snuggling in bed while chaos reigned outside the door.
Having a rose hand delivered by a messenger.
Saying goodbye at the airport with a few promises.
Stretching, she pulled out her cell phone, checked the time.
He should still be awake, if not she'd just wake him.
Dialing the number she knew by heart, she waited.
"Salaam Janu. Kaisi ho?"
