I Was Afraid No More

You left then, without even trying to close the door.
From the window, I could see you, stepping, unsure.
There was a subtle sadness about that, I could feel. 
As you were slowly moving further away in a drizzle, 
You never tried once to look back, anyway. 

I closed my eyes, to find that lost little girl, again in me 
Who used to cry in pain, fear, and tear, helpless was she. 
I hardly see her nowadays, as things are settling for sure 
Maybe she is ready to leave, in the coming times, to endure.
A sense of trepidation, waits for another moment, true.

Life will merge into lives, with grace and humility of the inner soul. 
And  as your shadow was getting smaller and smaller in the rain 
I felt I was afraid no more, and the door was left open still ,in vain.
