Loneliness

I looked out of the window. I could see the rainbow in the sky, the sun, kids playing in the playground, blossoming of romance in the neighborhood. I could listen to the chirping of the birds, the murmuring of young couples in the next room. I could not have listened to my inner voice too if I hadn't been alone.

I can see what is going on in the neighborhood. I know who’s good and bad. I could never forget those nights when I used to go to the gym with my friends. The whole world would be sleeping when we peddled a bicycle to the gym. Those days were gone. I never thought that my nights would be sleepless. Life was different a few years back. We enjoyed it to the fullest. Where are my friends and family? When did my friends call me or invite me to a function? I could see their kids growing up fast, learning new tricks, mimicking their papas and mamas.

I am free on my own. I can experiment with my life; whether it is tasting food from the nearby restaurant or sipping a drink with pleasure.

I thought I would wake up in the morning hearing the chirping of birds but I would wake up by hearing the quarreling of young couples in the next apartment. I looked out of the window. Where are those kids? I could see the birds preparing their nests They would fly away.
