Crying on the Step

I see

a woman

crying

on some

steps.

She was sitting

with

her arms 

wrapped 

around

her 

legs.

she was 

staring

straight

ahead,

with tears

streaming

down

her face.

I looked

away

knowing

that feeling.

knowing

that

look.

That was

me

a couple

years

ago.

Today

I am happy.

I am

happy being

alone.

my

heart

is full.

I should not

look.

As i walked

by

something

made me

stop.

Are you OK?

I asked.

She responded

without looking my

way.

Yes, I am ok.

As I look

at her

I smile.

I say

without

blinking,

You will be ok,

You will 

just be.

As I walked 

away.

I heard someone

behind me,

saying HEY....

How do you know?

I turn around

and say

Because

first you 

cry 

on a step...

Then you get

up and Actually

take one.

Because

thats 

what 

I did.
