Everything Will be Okay...

It had been a quiet transaction enough;
There was no explosion of passion, no loud altercation, no dispute, no defiance, no challenge,
no tears, no sobs.

A few words had been spoken;
a calmly pronounced objections to the relation;
Open admission of truth had been uttered.
And all was over.

Then I was in my room as usual, just myself without obvious changes.

Nothing had smitten me, or scathed me, or maimed me.

And yet, where was the "I" of yesterday?

Where was my life?

Where were my blissful prospects?

I sat down:

Till now I had only heard, seen, moved;

following up and down where I was led or dragged;

watched event rushed after event; disclosure opened beyond disclosure;

But now I thought:

What necessity is there to dwell on the Past,

when the Present is so much surer -the Future so much brighter?

Now I acted, and I knew Everything will be just Okay.
