Scraped knees and Sweet dreams

"What is love again, been so long I felt a true one,is it the feeling of a cool summer breeze,or is it the bright warm colours from a rainbow?,or is it an abstract feeling that brings pain and hurt.... I'll say it's the latter considering how my life has been...

"A failed love life,a child to raise and work issues",As I stood in my small kitchen, watching Jake's giggles as he played with his toys, I couldn't help but wonder...

In a playground where the kids' laughter lightens the mood, Maddie runs after her mates tripping in the process,her knee had been scraped,she feels hurt and vulnerable as she starts crying. A figure blocks the sun's rays as he stands in front of her,

'Hey are you okay?',

She looks up to meet a pair of hazel eyes and a reassuring smile on a boy's face, holding out his hands to help her up...

Maddie reluctantly takes his hand,not taking her eyes off him,

' You'll be fine, it's just a lil a scratch,my mom blows air on my injuries,She says it would make me feel better ',

Wondering why she wasn't saying anything, just staring at him... He lends his hand for an handshake,

Looking at the hand for awhile before wrapping her hand around his in a firm shake. 'Maddie',she replies,her voice barely above a whisper,She wonders if she just made a friend.....
