Ohhh Sitara, that was beautifully written...It brought out the whole gamut of emotions in me...Your skills with words is undeniable...I wish I could only possess a fraction of your writing capabilities...At the last sentece, when you were talking about the car speeding by, was it a metaphor for life??...in the sense that life does not wait for any of us...that we have to be our own drivers??...correct me if im wrong..but if that was your intent, the wordplay was simply marvelous..good work!
