Reflection

Hi there!
We meet again!
You remember me? Don't you?
Remember the first day we met?
Or at least the last one if you care?

Will start from the first time. Shall we?
You were so fascinated by your two little ponytails. You just couldn't stop yourself from showing off them to me.

And once you showed your bruises to me. They were deep. Yet there wasn't a drop of a tear in your eyes. You had grown up to be a strong girl.

Too many memories I have of you.
In recent times, about last year.
You had a wide smile on your face.
More of blushing. Practising your perfect smile for your latest selfie.

No this was few months back to be specific.

Yesterday when I saw you, a tear was rolling out of your eye. You were trying hard for a smile.
I didn't find any mark of hurt on your body. Neither were there any guests or friends at home.
Why the tear and the forced smile??

You have always been true to me.
Now there's something you hide. You no longer look me into my eyes.

Your eyes look weary and tired. Aren't you having a proper sleep?
Is it because of your coming up​ exams. Or is it something else that's making you stay awake all​ through the night?

Wish I had the power of the mirror of Snow White.
And I would want you to ask me who's the most beautiful girl on this land. As you wait for my reply with many apprehensions.
I will reflect back your image and show that you are the most beautiful person I had ever seen, with even more beautiful heart which I can't reflect.
You deserve to be more happy than sad. The smile on your face is something for which I can shatter myself, any number of times.

Hope next time we meet, you are in better shape.

- Your dusty mirror.
