Truth behind her silence

On that chilly night,

as she walked

on that dim and crowded street

she saw

how darkness united all.

The feeling of getting lost

let them to find companion.

But there she was

still walking alone,

not because she was a Cimmerian.

But because she felt that light

of the golden past

was enough to guide her.

She was unaware

that on that windy night

she too required warmth.

So now among those

familiar strangers

she is struggling to find companion.

Still she is silent,

Because she likes

things to be kept hidden.
