There will be smiles and tears and anger and despair
And there will be hopes so enormous, your dreams feel shy.

There will be scars and there will be milestones
And there will be moments so surreal, they question your beliefs.

There will be those clichéd rainy nights and summer days
And there will be secrets you wouldn’t give up for the world.

And just like it happens to all distant memories
The details will be lost in narration
or,
forgotten.

Anugraha Benjamin
