The Girl With the Golden Heart

22nd August'22 09:32 PM

I was flipping through some old boxes while cleaning the room

And so I came across pictures from 10 years ago.

I gazed at them and wondered, "Wow! Times flies!!"

I revisited that period in my mind, and tears came rolling down my cheeks.

I wondered where did she go?

She was such an innocent, bubbly young girl whose world was limited to her friends and her imagination.

I love her so much, even today, for everything she was.

It's like we look alike, but we aren't the same people anymore.

The inside version has changed drastically, and the change is beyond comparison.

I miss her dearly, but I am happy for she is gone.

If given a chance, I wouldn't like to bring her back.

The world was cruel to her, and she tried everything in her power to hold onto herself.

She had to evolve and speak the language of the new world.

The change was scary, but it was needed.

She loved that version of her, but she had to let her go for good.

A part of me is happy that she is gone because she wouldn't be able to fight the world.

She would have easily given up and cried in a corner until her face turned blue.

She was scared of losing people and cried an ocean while suffering in silence when she was hurt.

She couldn't hurt someone back and would never give up on anyone just like that.

For all I know, she is someone you would never want to lose,

Her raw and childlike behavior won the hearts of many.

Given a chance, I would want to hug her tight.

Tell her that everything is going to be fine.

You will get hurt. You will change, you will learn, you will adapt.

But you will never break.

You will drink all the tears alone and face all the problems alone.

You will be a lone wolf in this world of chaos,

But you will never give up.

You will become a badass who will intimidate others,

For now, don't be too afraid the change is near.

You will fall, you will scream, you will look around too for help.

But you will come out stronger.

There is so much love inside you that you can spread across the universe.

Don't be hesitant to love, for that is your passion in life.

Your courage kept me going even after so many breakdowns.

The love that you kept safe inside your heart still blooms inside mine.

The love you kept hidden from the world is now helping me to smile even in a challenging situation.
