She stares into nothingness waiting for her destination to come. Her lips curled into a permanent straight pose leaving no doubts about her state of mind. I wonder what horrific face of life has she witnessed at such a tender age that has taken away her zeal for life. I hope she heals soon and her heart dreams of beautiful tomorrows with infinite possibilities. *Amen*

For me, love is music, a song that your heart dances to and a rhythm that has the capacity to capture your soul. Love is the language of the universe, the one in which one soul converses with the other.
