Tunnel of Hope

He listened to what I had to say.
He was reticent.
Then he patiently said "What sad existence he has!"
and added "Are you not glad that it is her and not you?"

I leaned back repeating the same question in my mind.
In my confusion I envisioned the same tunnel
and for the first time I saw light on its other end.

No I thought to myself. The question is
Will I ever reach it?
