The other side

The night was pitch black with tiny shimmers perpetuating hope-one would say,but seeming rather lonely today.

“Its a beautiful night,ain’t it?”,one asked.The two girls were lying close to the cold grass, at the top of the hill.“Seems more so after the long trip we had to get here.”

“How is it that nature displays its beauty so plain and convincingly while one has to dig deeper for it in humans-only to be disappointed at its fakeness at times.”,she asked.

“You put forth rather deep questions.”

Silence followed.

“Sometimes i wish i didnt”.And she got up,walked gently through the fallen damp leaves.

“Where are you going?”,the other asked.

She held onto an aspen tree.The day had been a lie.She thought she could convince herself of the noted harshness of reality;to give herself the renewed hope she was trying to hold onto everyday.But how long could she keep doing this,lie to herself? She was tired of the unfairness of fate,disappointed by the world,“To the other side.”,she said.

And she let go.
