She was walking at the beachside, the waters touching her feet.She was feeling calm and composed, she sat down letting the glitters flow. Suddenly she heard a laughter from afar, a laughter she knew so well. She started following that laughter and what she saw after left her feeling nothing but just the numbness, the only emotion she knew and felt now. Her mind went blank as she saw the love of her life gigling and holding the girl so close beside him. Just by hearing his little gigles and laughs, she knew that he was truly happy right now. She also felt a glimpse of happiness seeing him and hearing his laugh that is true love isn't it, you get happy when your other half is, let it be with you or someone else. Now she felt like it was time to let him go, that was the voice of her brain but her heart said otherwise, she knew she is the one to blame, all of this is her fault, she failed to keep the most precious person in her life by her side. She now realized after so long that how important trust is in a relationship. Love slowly slowly fades away with passing time but if there is mutual trust love can always be rebuild. She smiled remembering all of their memories together and started taking back steps, suddenly she felt as if she bumped into someone,she quickly turned around and mumbled a sorry, the person starred at her and with a heartwarming smile replied it's ok, Are you alright? She felt an unconscious smile forming and unknowingly she spoke out, After such a long time someone asked me this, as she felt glitters continuously flowing from her eyes. The stranger was a little shocked but wiped her tears and said come let's sit by the beach. You tell me your story and I tell you mine deal. Again an unconscious smile formed and she replied while extending her hand deal.Maybe or maybe not this could be the beginning of something new, something to ease the burning fire in her heart or something that could turn her icy cold world into greenery and maybe happiness. Right there she decided to give herself a second chance. She finally from the bottom of her heart decided to let go of this regret and love. She realized that this love was meant to be forgotten.

The end.....for a new beginning....

Always give yourself a second chance regardless of what the situation or circumstance is or what are it's consequences, maybe that chance can be the beginning of something new and beautiful, who knows, afterall this life is full of mysterious happenings, that we come across at different stages of life.
