I was alone, falling free, trying my best not to forget.

Padded footsteps echoed down the otherwise silent hallway. 

Pause. 

She stared into the mirror,

An unfamiliar face with an eerily familiar expression greeting her.

Mocking her. 

Took her awhile to figure out how much

She had aged. 

Then again,

Change came in the weirdest ways, didn't it?

Flashes of color through her shot memory.

The inevitable quirk of her lips.

A grim smile.

She remembered everything;

even if it was all in a haze.

The regrets, the tears, but most of all- 

Those rare moments of  perfect bliss

Those  were the ones that made everything worthwile.

She would be fine.

on a more ahem. CHEERFUL note,

Akram.
:P

(since you dont associate yourself with anything 'emo.')
