Sadness

After days and days

of just work and study,

of being around people,

a new language and new faces,

neither liking nor disliking all of it,

and then..

some alone time

and you find sadness waiting 

with open arms to embrace you..

I smile at her, at sadness,

it feels good

after days of emotionlessness,

after days of feeling nothing,

this feeling is welcome..

Nostalgia also returns,

the longing and the memories

wanting to go back

to those days of tears and longing,

of being lost,

but knowing that you can\’t..

What does it all matter anyways?

Just the sadness..

of how life works,

moves, constantly..

You never stay at one place,

you can\’t, even if you want to..

Life is a flowing river,

constantly flowing..

Sometimes you feel grateful

that it flows and is not still..

Not today though,

today, you are wrapped around

by sadness..

And it feels like a warm blanket

in a cold weather..

Let her stay, the sadness..

She too will leave,

everyone and everything does..

eventually

everyone and everything leaves..

except You….
