Dusk or Dawn ?

I know not if the night is falling. I know not if the imminent darkness is going to cloud four years of the wonderful times spent in college. A lot seems to have changed. A lot.

Strangers have come closer. They have wounded the heart and healed it too. The close ones have drifted apart. Some have stayed at the same distance.
The surroundings seem alien, yet the faint smell, the flavour of youth and innocence intoxicates the soul. The emotions form such an eclectic union that they refuse to come out when needed most. Words fail and the smiles stop to conceal the immense internal grief.

The transition from immature to mature, the transition from child to a woman, the transition from innocence to wisdom. Is this what happens, when one breaks the cocoon. I wonder if it has been for the good or for the worse.
