 We woke up at dawn when we were kids, we played the hide and seek game, the truth or dare game, the squirrel and bear game. At dawn, we promised not to leave one another. Miss. Diana Mariam Nasigri But at morning, when everything becomes clear, the love crack,  the love was as a drug thrown unto the sea which cannot be seen  again as it melted in the sea water. It hurts so badly when I think of what you did. As we move into the noon, the love fades the more. I want to leave you but my courage is lost. Is it going to remain same? Is it going to change to the better? Or is it going to become worse. Guess night will tell. Written by Diana Mariam Nasigri (McRhelta )
