By the window

By the window,
she sat and stared out.
The burst of colours from the fireworks,
the crowd,
the joy and celebrations out there,
and yet,
she sat by the window,
on her own,
watching everything happening in front of her eyes.

Alone,
she picked up her notebook,
stood up and walked out of the cafe.
She kept walking and walking,
away from those crowd.
She knew that is not the place she wants to be,
that is not the crowd she wants to be surrounded with,
that is not the cure for her aching heart.

As she reached a corner,
she saw a little cafe with fairy lights on,
she walked inside,
and found herself a place,
a warm place that is away from the crowds,
a place where she could be on her own,
a place where she could start collecting pieces of herself,
mending it and putting it to where it belongs,
her heart.
