Are you listening from the skies?

So I was sitting on a park bench and staring aimlessly at a tree. I saw two leaves stuck together by the forces of nature. The winds tried to separate them but in vain. with a little more push, they fell to the ground, but they were still stuck together. In life and in death, they remained with each other and disappeared inside the mud. How are they different from me and you? I know you’re not here anymore but there was a time when we were one. Be it watching sitcoms, baking cookies or going to the beach, we always did it together. My days started and ended with you. I can’t even go to a theatre without thinking about you. I can’t read your favourite books without thinking about you. My brain keeps conjuring up the image of your smile. Oh that smile! It healed me. As cliché as it sounds, you made me a better person. you told me I’m beautiful when I didn’t believe it. You made me love myself when I never thought I could do it. You were the kindest soul I knew yet you hurt me the most. You promised me that we would grow old together. Why did you break it then? Why did you leave? Okay I know it’s not your fault but it hurts. Everything hurts. Are you even listening? Do you watch me everyday from the skies? I hope you’re happy there among the clouds. You left so suddenly and took a piece of me with you. I feel so empty now but I know you would have wanted me to move on. But how do I do it? How do I stitch the holes in my heart? Where do I find the threads of love?
