She wanted to love someone

Love is incomprehensible, she always thought

For she wanted to love someone

Have that feeling of bliss and enchantment

Towards a special one

Who never seemed to show up

But she wasn’t alone, she was loved by someone

Who treated her well, cared for her and cherished her

But she couldn’t have a reciprocal sensation

Not that she didn’t want to

It is just that she couldn’t

Then, a terrible illness affected her, cancer

It came as sudden and as unlooked-for

As a storm on a sunny summer day

And its impact was dreadful

Life changes when death becomes a neighbor

Especially when one is young and filled with desires

And because the existence is supposed much, much longer

The journey towards cure was arduous, but she overcame it

And she felt that life had given her another chance

So, she madly wanted to have that feeling of ecstasy

That unexplainable and almost unbearable euphoria

That makes everything else uninteresting and boring

Except for the person who triggers such a sublime ardor

A feeling that opens the gates to an unvisited dimension

And reveals an undiscovered inner oasis of joy and exaltation

So, she started seeking for it

She roamed here and there

Up and down and everywhere

Searching, seeking, hunting

Today, I met her, her eyes shone like a bright star

Her mood was light and sweet

Glimpses of joy and ecstasy radiated from her

But surprisingly, she was alone

So, I guess that she has found it

She has got the nectar from the unchanging source

Which is the spring of her own soul

Life has given her a second chance

And she seems to be relishing on it

Independently, voraciously and lovingly.
