WHO ARE YOU TO ME?

The one who delivered a garden of roses, which also bears thorns?
A scenery that vanishes with time?
Or Memories of warmth destined to be bottled up? 
Yet you were the rope I held tightly onto. 
A daydream that rescued me from the clutches of a nightmare, 
The comfy breeze that swept the lonely soul and 
The water that revived the withered branches! 
Now, as I hide myself in the closet of happiness that once gave me solace; 
I bury myself in the abyss of darkness, swallowing ache. 
I found you in the lively days as well as in lifeless nights, 
Like a familiarly disguised portrait 
And in the unfamiliar words of a renowned book! 
Tears bounce back as the past runs behind, 
I tremble hard as shivers run down the spine. 
In a blanket of chaotic silence, I tread halfway down the lane, 
Where I felt, it's wiser to press forward than to cast glances behind! 
Hoping that passing clouds make the sun brighter, when they only bring rain
And now, who am I to you?
