"আলোর জাহাজ ফিরব ঘর আজ, বল না কতদূর?"

We come across so many faces everyday.

Out of those, perhaps a few are familiar. And a few have a hint of familiarity mixed with a smell of home.

And from those few, perhaps a few you can count on.

And there is perhaps one or maybe two people with whom you feel safe.

So safe that you can put your mask down for a few moments. Be open. Vulnerable. Lie naked under the sheets. With your truth and scars laid bare. Your tired words laid out for them to read. Without the fear of being judged. You close your eyes and stop smiling. The muscles of your face resting. So quiet. So warm. Safe haven. 

Some crave for that safe haven so much that they try to find home in every face they see and every body they undress. Some search in vain. For decades. Some go mad. Some cover their emptiness with hollow smiles and caustic eye-rolls. 

Safe. Home. You.
