EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT

That moment when I held his lifeless hands in my hands...
I wanted to but I couldn't cry; A hope that was shining so bright didn't let a tear roll down on my cheeks and it said EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT but when? (I don't know)
That moment when I wanted to talk to him but he couldn't speak...
that kind of helplessness and hope that said EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT

That moment when I wanted him to wipe my tears but he didn't for he was not there...
that kind of pain and cries stayed undisturbed and a hope that said EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT

That moment when I wanted to see through his eyes the colors of my life and closed they were with a view so dull...
that kind of view devoid of colors and a hope that said EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT

That moment when I wanted him to see my smile and know that it's him who made me smile but he couldn't see for his eyes were closed to never be open again...
that kind of smile decorated with the patterns of sadness and hope that said EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT

That moment when I knelt down while making a prayer and his words reverberating in my ears, only his voice that I could hear; I failed to answer for the words were lost...
that kind of prayer being unable to utter a word but just shedding tears and a hope that said EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT

Every moment is saddening, the condition getting worsened!
I cannot cry even when I want to; prolly the tear reserves have dried up;))
That kind of suffering when you even can't cry and a hope that says EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT

In all such moments, I faced death many times but didn't let this hope die EVERYTHING IS GONNA BE ALRIGHT.
