An Old Dress in her closet
The door opened and once again her
colorful closet came in light. She looked at it with more self admiration , as now she has a variety of clothes to choose from. Perhaps, more than one for
every given occasion. One might say, her wardrobe clearly reflects her personality. Colorful,
moody and unpredictable. She has all unique colors in her wardrobe hot pink,
tangerine , honeydew , teal and even colors she might never wear. Among this chaos of colors, there lies a black dress in the corner of the closet. It was
her favorite, once. She has it for quite a long time now. In her golden days,
she wore it like her skin. The first dress she ever bought for herself , a dress that reflected her personality in all moods like they were made
for each other. The dress that was made to make her feel like HERSELF. She
had some most rejoicing memories in it. How time flies as the saying goes, those days are gone now. Ever since someone pointed out that the
dress is old enough to retire and that she doesn't look any good
in it, she stopped wearing it ,she moved on. However,
she couldn't throw it away. It's hard to keep every dress forever ,
but she kept this one. After all it was her favorite dress. It's been ages
& she hasn't even laid her eyes on it. Perhaps someday she'll
notice it, she might even wear it to see if it still fits or just
to relive her past for a few moments. She shall wear it or not, one
thing is for certain: Her golden time is gone, she might keep the
dress forever, but she cannot have that time back.

That old dress kind of
reminds me of an old relationship. It's funny, how time passes by and
we don't even realize that we have forgotten so many
relationships. Relationships that mattered
once, relationships that served their time. Its indeed very hard to keep
every relation forever , but some relations have a long duration, they stay
almost forever. We may not be together now, but we still have a place
in each other's heart. We had our time and we'll cherish
it forever. Our busy lives may not give us enough time to think
about each other , but we know that someday when in leisure we'll
open the closet , the other one will be waiting there. (At
least that's what I believe and hope) Many times I wonder, why the
relationship ended ? Did someone pointed to her that we don't look
good together? or even worse, was I even her favorite dress?
