Harsh Reality

Every word from his mouth is sweeter than the purest honey. When I was in trouble, he stood by me as a pillar of strength. He gave me the badly needed company when I was in solitude. I could sleep peacefully when he was around. He would bring down the stars for me if I ask for it. He would take me to the world’s best physician even if a small thorn pricks my flesh. Had I been a normal girl, I would have never turned down his proposal. But I don’t want to be selfish; there are a whole lot of my own people still suffering back home.

Dreams never come when there’s pain in the eyes,

Bonds never blossom when there’s a war in the heart.
