Touched by angels

Not all relationships have names

These nameless relationships

Are at once love, friendship, admiration and more

They come and they go

Leaving behind a whiff of something intangible

And yet so infinitely important.

Unintended

I thought of her yesterday
When I was giving my girl a bath
I thought, she would have done it for her daughter too
And I felt a little sad.

I thought of her late at night
When I was reading a message from a friend
I thought, she would have giggled at the words
And I felt a little sad.

I didn't think of her this morning
As I was aimlessly surfing through various social media platforms
I didn't think stumbling on her name
Static and cold would cause so much hurt,
Beyond sadness, beyond pain.
