You are in a room filled with people
Everyone is calling out to you
But you choose your martini
Decline everyone’s company
And sit alone on the window sill
Absorbing the peace, the night spills...
The black sky with a few stars
The packed streets and passing cars
The distant moon and the tall buildings
You hear sounds but listen nothing
You keep staring into the darkness
You are enjoying the solitude
And wish you had this always!
Your eyes fall upon a distant window
There is a girl sitting on her sill
Her lights are dim and room is still
You look further and see a single bed
In a small room neatly kept
Beside a bookshelf and computer table
And she dressed to be comfortable.
Of course, she lived alone.
She held a glass and stared at the moon
Wish that could have been you!
You will have time, just for you
You will have time, to forgive yourself
You will have time, to let go of your past
You will have time, to search your soul
You will have time, to understand the stars
You will have time, to read a book
You will have time, to develop a hobby
You will have time, to pursue your creativity
You know you will invent something too!
How lucky she must be,
To have all her time just for herself!
You pull out your phone and zoom in on her
She looked beautiful and yet, somehow sad!
You don't understand.
How can grief exist, amidst such peace!
She had no one to please,
She could do anything she wanted.
She could watch a movie eating noodles,
Or step outside for a walk or a drink.
She could get lost inside a novel,
Or just concentrate on her breathe .
There was no one to judge her,
Nor was she obligated to behave.
Why did she still wear that frown?
Why did she still wear that frown?

Across the street sits the lonely girl,
Staring at the couple, holding hands and walking!
