Yes! She is 29!
Yes! She is 29!
She cries!
She weeps!
And, none are able to listen to her. Why?
Did they ever ask what's wrong?
Did they even care to ask what's been bothering you?
People do care for her. But is that care limited to the resources, with respect to food, shelter and basic amenities?
Is anyone there to talk to her?
Is anyone there to listen her heart out?
Is anyone there to rely on?
Is anyone there to understand her?
She would soon be getting married. Is anyone there to take care of her?
To consider her a part of his family?
Is anyone there to feel dependent upon?
Will there be anyone to talk to her about her mom?
will there be anyone to tell her how strong she had been?
Is anyone there who can say how proud they are?
Is anyone there who can appreciate her for little things she does for others?
Is anyone there who needs her?
Is anyone there who can motivate her?
Or, Is anyone there who can just make sure she is doing fine or not?
Is anyone there who can say, I am there for you and can actually be there whenever she needs without even wanting anything in return?
Is anyone there to tell her that she'll be fine?
Is anyone there who can love her the way she was loved by her mother?
Is anyone there to support her ?
Is anyone there to cry with her?
Is anyone there who doesn't expect anything from her and still love her?
Is anyone there to love her the way she loves and cares for others?
Is anyone there to love her without any conditions or demands?
Well! I think! These questions remain answered even after 2 years have passed.
