Beauty Seen is Never Lost

You gripped the water hose with your little hand. “ It’s raining, It’s raining all over you, all over us, It’s raining!”. You laughed, that joyous contagious laugh, as you showered our world with million little rainbows. You kept circling on yourself, sprinkling the raindrops all around you, until you got dizzy and fell over, laughing hysterically. Your giggles were like a song, snatched from a long forgotten memory, making you look surreal, almost unreal. Like a faded photograph tinted with nostalgia.

You stuffed your mouth with countless pieces of gum, trying to blow the largest strawberry bubble ever made. You promised that it’s going to be larger than the globe itself. Every detail of your face spoke of mischief, you’re eyes twinkled with that new found pleasure. Your grin grew wider and wider as you dissolved into laughter, spitting a huge pink blob onto my face.

You counted the billboards, one after another. One, two,three,four, ninety six, one hundred. You stuck your face to the window, claiming the race between you and them. and then you opened the window, the cold breeze brushing through your hair,as you made the whole world listen to you. One hundred and twenty one, one hundred twenty two..



Ten years,
And you taught me how to live.
