She was so lonely. Silently, she watches from the shadows, hidden from view. Strangers pass her by and pay her no heed. She wants to call out to them but she's too terrified of getting attached, of forming some sort of friendship. And so she watches, and observes and see friends she thought she would brave the future with, walk on by.
Unlike the people passing her everyday, she wants to reach out to her friends. In the midst of them, she sees her prince charming, the one who holds her heart. But even him, she knows, has drifted away from her. She reaches out, and calls to them, but not one turns his head to her.
Fear, loneliness, and pain engulf her. To be deserted by her friends was no big deal. But now she has been forgotten by her love and the pain is intolerable. They move in a life filled with laughter and fun while she remains in the shadows, unable to go anywhere. Slowly, the tears ran down her face and she fell to the ground, her body unable to move.
But like the sun coming from behind gray clouds, something urges her to look up and she sees her love staring back at her. That beautiful smile filled with love and gentleness, that mischievous smile that could always cheer her up, that tender smile that makers her heart flip and somersault, was in place.
He walks slowly, but with a purpose, straight towards her. He reaches her and she can do nothing but stare up at him. Dropping down to his knees, he slowly wipes away the tears from her cheeks. Giving her another smile, and without saying a word, he takes her hand in his and stands, bringing her up with him.
Taking one last look at the shadows that were her safe haven, her domain, she allows him to pull her into the circle of friends waiting with open embraces. Here, she feels safe and warm. Here, she is able to feel again. Here, they make her smile. Here, they make her feel alive.
