Looking Back

She was looking beyond those dark, deep eyes
 She was looking for something, searching for something
 She was not sure what that could be.
 She was hopeful that it would lead her somewhere.
 
 Two years back, she got stuck in a snow
 One neighbor came to help her, with his father
 She was a sister to both of them.
 “The boy had a pure smile. Quite amazing!”, She thought to herself.
 
 Last night she had a bad dream
 She saw her, naked, in the middle of a mammogram
 Agitated, she woke up.
 And it was still dark outside.
 
 The only thing left for her is to pray for her own
 She was walking through the fine line
 Of ability and inability.
 Like every day, the sun decided to glow on her window too.
 
 All she wanted is to be a little sister of that deep-eyed one!
