She Waved At Me
I saw her yesterday. She waved at me. I think she did. The idea that she knew who I am made my heart fluttered. Tears came running. Oh no! I am crying again. My vision blurred. But for sure, this time it was happy tears, unlike the last time. I waited for a whole month … Continue reading She Waved At Me
