He

It was dusk time
Sun had already set
moonlight was dim
& not much could be seen

Walking without knowing where I was heading to,
Thinking endlessly about my own life
Trying to find answers to the unanswered questions

I felt lost
Didn't know where the journey would lead me
Where will this path take me...

Suddenly there came a person out of nowhere
He asked me if he could walk along with me
A steam of thoughts crossed my mind
But then, I thought, why not give myself another chance....

There were apprehensions
But then I had no expectations
There were doubts
which wanted to let out...

We walked together
But in silence
Being careful before taking each step and moving ahead
As i did not wanted to get hurt and lose myself into this darkness again

Due to this silence, I wondered if he does really exist or not
But when I looked at him, he was protecting me like a shield

Doubts did arise in my mind
But this time, answers I could find...

We kept on walking,
But slowly I realised, his traces had started disappearing.....
