Flashback

Friend
Confidant
Side-kick
Closer than a sister

Mistrust
Uncertainty
Misgivings
A foreboding of what was to come

Betrayed
Deceived
Forsaken
Kissed by Judas in a dress

Heart-broken
Bitter
Unpalatable
Poignant memories crushed

Helpless
Forlorn
Vulnerable
Paralyzed with fear

Renewal
Improvement
Awakening
A turning point in my life

Cautious
Tentative
Reluctant
Gingerly reaching out a hand

Enchanted
Tenderness
Yearning
A soft spot in my heart

Joyous
Radiant
Blissful
Fortunate am I … once again
