This is a story. A story about a girl and a boy. Well, maybe it's just about the girl. A girl so ordinary that people hardly noticed her. She moved in shadows and she was happy with that. Everything was going smoothly until she met a boy. A boy so beautiful that people can't help falling in love with him. He was like the sunlight, brightening everything around. The girl found his light soothing. His one smile used to flip her mood. For him she wanted to get out of the shadows. The ordinary girl overdid herself everytime he was around. She tried hard to reach him. But he was so far away. He was out of her reach. She chose to ignore the distance. She had turned into a fool for him. She took the flight. The flight so high, even she knew she couldn't make it. But still, she moved closer and closer. She was blinded by his light for she thought it was soothing. It took her long to feel the burn. And when she did she was already too close. Her wings were melting away. It was time for her fall. Pain wrecked her heart as she was burning apart. Looking tearily at the oblivious soul, she let go of herself. And the world witnessed her fall. A fall so graceful. A story so mistful. From the shadows to the ashes. She started from nothing, in nothingness she ended.
