Lost Signals [Ongoing]

grief's companions | i

As summer’s golden glow

faded to autumn’s chill,

Maya spent her days

wandering unfamiliar neighborhoods.

On one of those drizzly afternoons,

she found herself in a quaint café,

its warm interior calling her in.

That was when she saw Lily

sitting alone at a corner table,

her eyes red-rimmed,

sipping on a steaming cup of tea.
