Haunted (Writers island 4)
**************************************************
Haunted.
Haunted is when you wake up and the dreams still continue.
Haunted is when you cannot stop thinking and thoughts continue inside your head like a whirlwind.
Haunted is when you know it is not possible, but you hope anyway.
Haunted is when you wish and wish you could have just five minutes, with that person.
Haunted is when you go through every photograph you have of them, at least a 100 times.
Haunted is when you comb and comb your memory just in case, you pick up little bits of togetherness, that by a miniscule chance got left behind.
Haunted is a lump in your throat at just the mention of their name.
Haunted is feeling sad, even at a very happy bit of news, just because they aren’t there to share it.
Haunted is when the pain still stays, even after what seems like eternity..
Haunted is when nothing else matters.
Haunted is a longing for something that can never be.
Haunted is when you want to die, but have to live.
Haunted is just a permanently empty place, in your heart.
Haunted is where I am, right now.

Ahhhwwww.....This message is abt my friend who lost her father on friday. She was travelling all the way to india on tuesday to see him. She had bought loads of things for him to give him...how much of happiness and excitment, her eyes was sparkling with the very fact that she is going to see him, who is living so far away. There comes a sad news that he passed away & nobody knows how & when. All they know was he is not alive anymore. I saw her shatter in front of me...no words to express. She is now waiting in one of those huge airports after missing a connecting flight, to go home and see her beloved father one last time. I pray to god that he gives her immense strength to move on....I thought abt you when i saw my friend breaking down :(
