I stood silent for sometime till I said,"Have you lost all the great burden of your tears?"
She smiled and said nothing.
I felt that her tears had time time to learn the language of smiles.
"Once you said," she whispered
" that you would cherish your grief for ever."
I blushed and said,"Yes, but years have passed and I forgot."
Then I took her hand in mine and said,"But you have changed."
"What was sorrow once become peace," she said.
