The end

(By Saara Kanana)  I was so used to being the one you loved, The one you cared deeply for and, The one you were so proud of.  I was used to what we had, Our happy forever. I often ask myself whether I was drowning you, With my expectations of you and, Somewhere along the process you got tired, And somehow freed yourself.   I failed to accept the change,  And so it left me heartbroken, Because I don't have my bestfriend anymore,  A lover only. You were imperfect but so perfect for me,  Now I don't even know where to look when talking to you, Because it is like you built this thick wall between us, And I don't have a chance in.  I was so deeply invested that I  didn't see the pages turning, I didn't smell the candle's burning out, I didn't hear your footsteps walking away,  Because what I saw next was your footprints in the sand. I guess this is where our journey ends. The end

One day

I see how he looks at me, Different everytime we are together, Every look telling a story, A different story, Always accompanied by a smile, Clearly exposing his dimples. The way he holds me, It is a feeling I cannot put in words, So gentle and with care, Communicating to me with unspoken words, Only the two of us understand, Always awakening something new in me. He makes me feel like no other person ever did, Like I'm the only thing that matters, Even at his weakest point, He gives me his strength, Whenever he is around, A sense of peace overwhelms me, With him I feel at home, I look at him and I see my future, Standing right in front of me, If this is not love, I don't know what it is. But he is a foreigner in my country, My friends and family do not approve, They are completely clueless of how I feel, Constantly reminding me that loneliness awaits, Relentlessly hurting me with words of disapproval. But I refuse to give up ...

Mom

Strength I have heard people define strength, I searched for the definition of strength, I could never find a right one, I was never satisfied with what I found. It was when I sat home, And realized that I have always known strength, I was always surrounded by it, I spent my whole life with it. It was always in front of me, And I never realized, I couldn’t read nor see the signs, Therefore, I always looked past it. The one that birthed me, The one that raised me, Who still carries me except, not a womb. That for me is strength. My strength comes with unending love, It comes with daily motivation, It provides me with constant courage, In my strength, I find my lifetime best friend. Nothing is worth repayment, No words are worth enough appreciation, I can only be thankful and grateful, And I am, I love you mom.
