Traces.

as I was giving up and leaving the building I heard shouting,

There were police holding him.

Him.

I hated him.

She was there too,

She seemed happy,

Relaxed.

She must have told them.

My words were powerful.

I helped make a difference.

I knew,

She had the courage to tell them herself.

I smiled.

Her eyes met mine in the crowd.

Right as they dragged the screaming boy away,

She smiled at me.

Her face lit up,

She ran over to where I was standing.

Too happy to contain herself,

She almost threw her arms around me.

But.

She stopped herself.

She shyly looked away,

I whispered to her,

Telling her it's okay.

It's okay to share your emotions,

She looked at me,

She hugged me tight.

At that moment it felt as if we were floating on a cloud.
