Tale of He & She

The spring had begun and people were cheerful. The flowers were busy blossoming, the butterflies constantly orbiting them, She missed something as if something was making her hollow from inside; but what it was, she knew not. Although she would have felt happy for the spring, yet she felt emotionless. Though she wanted to dance with the flowers, she shut herself in her room, dark as the universe, never to open it again.

The morning had begun and the leaves were soaked with dew drops over them. He was wide awake when the birds sang gleefully. The whole scenario outside looked refreshing to his mind. He stepped out to feel the beauty that the morning contained. He felt happy but was amazed when he saw her, on her knees, with a ring for him.

It was midnight when the moon was calmly shining. All were asleep but he could not. He stepped out to gaze at the moon, which was the only lustrous thing he could view at that moment. He wondered how could it shine when everything was dark around. He was missing her, yet he could feel her presence. He had seen her on her death bed a few months ago but always felt her close. "It is only in the dark when we can shine." he heard her whisper. Tears which he had held in his eyes, could not stay longer. It was lonely and no one around, yet he could feel an invisible hug from her.
