Ek Khwab

What a beautiful dream it was. I knew it would hurt me. I knew that in the end, all I could get was a sobbing heart and a soul more broken than before. But I decided to live in the illusion. The illusion of getting a forever that I once pictured, a hand I saw holding mine, a shoulder I laid my head on to cry. In the end, I woke up alone in my bed, hugging my pillow under the sheets with an ache strangling my heart and a cry that no one heard.
