Sun Kissed. The path ahead swerves indefinitely. I stand there, lost in thoughts. I'm told that I can not take this journey alone. I have been told that I have a 'companion' to guide- to success. So, even when everyone leaves, I stand there waiting for them. Ten seconds, fifteen minutes, an hour, two days, a week, three months. Time pass. Weather changes. People leave. Yet, I stand there, All alone. I can't do this anymore. But I don't want to break their trust. So, I start to walk- slowly. Even though, they might not be part of the whole journey, at least I can join them for the rest of it. As I walk, I feel the beauty around me. The clear sky is covered with bright green leaves of the tall trees winding along my unknown path. The peeking sunlight kisses my cheeks, and the cool, gentle wind rustles through my hair. I find peace . I can see people rushing past. They run along the path but I walk along the silent side lanes. I turn back to look. Still no one. My conscience won't put me to rest. I quicken my pace, while thoughts flood in me. I wonder if they will still come? What if I'm wasting my time? What if I don't reach there? I push aside these thoughts. I look around. Pause. Breathe. The sun- soft, it's rays peeking through the tree leaves. The wind- cool, whistles a merry tale of the past as it gently rushes past me. I want time to pause, I want to cherish this moment forever. This is bliss. But I can't stop for long. I have to win. I can't wait for anyone. This is my fight. I need to this on my own. I look around. Sun kissed, I run, I run to my freedom.

Sun Kissed.
Sun Kissed. The path ahead swerves indefinitely. I stand there, lost in thoughts. I'm told that I can not take this journey alone. I have been told that I have a 'companion' to guide- to success.
