She had convinced herself it's just another day.. Live the routine, end the day... But the nudge in the heart grew stronger when the clock etched closer to 12.. It was her anniversary.. She reminded herself to keep her feelings in check.. She knew all the she would get is "happy anniversary " or a long post on social media.. She reminded herself that it's only words and few wishes, rest of the day stays the same..
But when the date approached, she felt a lump in her throat.. She felt the fear of loneliness creeping inside her.. He was physically away but now, even mentally he was distant.. She longed for him, his presence and love.. But she knew better, it's nothing special.. The feelings effed away ages ago.. Staying together seemed just a way to please the world.. She reminded herself that the cold she felt was not so much because of the winters and much as it is due to loneliness.. She reminded herself that her fruitless efforts to rekindle the flame called love has been nipped in the bud..
She reminded herself this day comes annually.. All she needs to do is work extra hard to let this day pass.. Loneliness has been a friend who just needs to be accepted..
