Dear person in the mirror, what I see in you is a lost child. A child slowly fading into the thick mist of time slowly turning into an empty memory. I can't blame you, for it wasn't your choice to make, the choice between what you want to do and what you need to. The responsibilities, that comes to you always has its drawbacks. What I see in you is a little child scared and tormented my the very monsters responsible for your fading. What I see in you is a heart on which scars are shouting out the lessons that you have been taught by situations. What I feel is that with every ticks of time that climbs its destiny, it takes you one more step away from me. I know you understand me and that I understand you. I am lonely as you. I am haunted by the same monsters as you. Yet I stand strong without any strength left, just because you are standing in-front of me, with me. I know them all well, those monsters... since they are a part of you and me. There are times that I am scared of you. Perhaps you scare me more than those monsters. Yet I want to stand by you.
Dear person in the mirror, I have seen you laugh, I have seen you cry. I have seen you shout and I have seen you breakdown in silence. I have seen you fight your loneliness and search desperately for it. I have seen you smile with a filled heart at both times, when it was filled with happiness and when it was filled with pain. I know you not for what I want from you, not because of what I expect of you nor because I petty you, its just because I want to. I know you are in despair, I know you are in fear, I know you are lonely even in the midst of people who care about you. And I know that love is one among the monsters that are haunting you. But hang in there.
Dear person in the mirror, I don't know what future holds for us. even though I am fragile, even though I don't know what to do, even though I failed you again and again, and even though I know that the life ahead is scary, no matter how strong and scary those monsters are, no matter how lonely and insecure you are, No matter how much you fear for me and for others, I shall stand by your side and go through them with you. because you are me. And without you I am incomplete.

Dear person in the mirror, with you I shall stand.
