The Lost

“But I love you a lot and you’re my world,” said she. She needed him in her life more than anything else. She did everything for him. Everything you could ever imagine. Every morning when she looked at herself in the mirror she asked, “Will he like me today?” She dressed the way he liked. Tied her hair the way he approved. Perhaps even smiled the way he wanted.
Every night she waited for him to come home and especially to her. She stood in the balcony trying to catch a glimpse of his even when the mosquitoes feasted on her blood. “Who cares?” she told herself. And when he touched her she told herself, “Now even if death takes me away right at this moment I’ll have no regrets.”
She spent many nights chatting with him yet never got tired of listening to him. People thought that she is mad. Mad she was but only for him.
Then came a day when her world turned upside down. He made an exit from her life. Without a word he simply disappeared. Perhaps her fault was that she was completely lost in love. And couldn't find her way back without him.
Today, you might still find her in the street calling his name. Holding an old photograph she might ask, “Have you seen this man?”
