And on some rainy day, you will find it maddening. To be haunted by someone who's still alive.

On some sunny day, you will wish to see me walk by you.

On some chilly night, something I said will remind you of the times your world fell silent.

But on a chilly afternoon today, I find peace.

Because I'm one of those who disappear before people's eyes even when we're still there.

I'm one of those who will die for the one they love in silence and never let them know.

I am always ready to leave by the back door. I love leaving as much as staying.

Perhaps, this must be what it feels like.

To know how to love and still have yourself.
