The 'Me'...

Original Submission by Hariprisa Mohanasunthar

The ‘Me’…

The ‘me’ before you…

Happy with her life,

Always feel content with whatever she has,

At peace with herself.

The ‘me’ with you…

Happy with the ‘you’, - The soul!

She breathes around you,

Calmness flows,

Silence between us, is just beautiful!

The ‘me’ without you…

Just…

Empty,

She missed herself, the one before you…more

The silence feels heavy,

The distance feels… painful.
