all the best kiddo

I wanted to ask her to run
Run as fast as she can
And not look back
NOW
Because this might be her only chance

She says she knows what she is doing
Says she has got a plan
I hope she also has a Plan B
Cause I have this sneaky feeling
That Plan A is never gonna get executed

Why this strong urge to protect her all of a sudden
I mean I have know her quite some time
Liked her instantly
And knew left to ourselves there won’t be any dearth of conversation
But we were never close
Never made any effort to take it further

So what really brought us together today
Sisters in crisis
While I am almost at the end of mine, hers have just started
Is this uncanny similarity in our situations that drew me to her
I want to protect her from all the hurt
Make sure she doesn’t make the same mistakes that I made
This feeling of déjà vu is scary

But something makes me stop and think
Am I doing the right thing
The situations might be similar
But they are not the same
The protagonists are different
The context is different
What if what was a mistake for me
Turns out to be the best thing that could possibly happen to her
Or maybe she needs to make those mistakes
And take away her own learnings from them
The truth is different for each of us, isn’t it

Maybe I should just back off and wait in the wings
Alert
Ready to prompt her if she forgets her lines
But always hoping that she sails through it all
And gets called back for curtain calls
