Not Alone Anymore

Cassie walked over to the window and her reflection glimmered in it. She took her hand and slowly ran it down the ice cold glass.
She removed her hand and began to turn around. She stopped and stared out the window into the dark night, snow falling everywhere.
What a lovely night.
Cassie thought, smiling to herself. But why do I get so choked up at the mention…The war was over. Everything was over now. Yeerks were no more.
But neither was Cassie's life.
Her parents, her friends, her love…all gone. She, Cassie, was all alone.
And on Christmas night, too!
She thought." Why does everything happen to me?" Cassie said softly, her words soon cut off by her sobs. She buried her head in her hands and felt tears run down her face.
She sat up again and wiped her wet eyes.
" You are strong Cassie. Everything is fine." Cassie looked out into the snowy night. " So why do I feel so bad?"
" Sometimes when I am alone,
I feel sadness now that you are gone,
Everything isn't gonna be all right,
I'm crying now on Christmas night,
My life was nice,
All was good,
Like it should…be,
But I, never felt this way before,
And it hurts inside cause I don't want to feel like this anymore,
Now that you're gone,
Life stops to a halt,
Don't cry now,
It's not your fault,
That my world has come to an end…"
Cassie stopped singing suddenly. She took a small shaky breath and swallowed hard to make the lump in her throat go away.
" I feel like there's nothing no one can do,
In my life, you guided me,
You all did," Cassie laughed.
" But still,
Without any of you,
My eyes would not see,
Beyond what is here normally,
To the other worlds of hatred, of love too,
Through the ups and downs of my life,
You took my hand and helped me through,
I owe my life,
My soul, my heart,
In my mind you're still a part,
Of everything dear to me,
And everything I should be,
Now I cry to you on this snowy night,
Watching as the world turns white,
I wouldn't do anything without any of you."
Cassie stopped her singing.
" Who am I kidding? They wouldn't even let me…" Cassie stopped singing.
She stared outside, standing there in the snow, was an angel.
Cassie didn't say anything, for she knew she wasn't alone anymore.
