Longing Forever (For Maami)
Saying time heal all wounds sometimes, is just balderdash
On this day three years ago, I lost a light
It’s nothing short of a miracle, how I’ve survived your demise
My supporter, my protector, my angel in disguise
You gave me the best years of your life
Even when it was more than I deserved
Even when it was lesser that you had
You were my guide at my weakest
You never faltered during any of my sickness
When I had no strength, you were also my fitness
The sadness that fills my heart every time I still cry
Is not just that I miss you and wish we had more time
It’s more that I can never be able to pay you back
It’s more that I will never be able to watch you being proud
To forget you is to forget how to live
To forget who you are is to forget who I am
When you died, you became me and a memory
And so you live on as a part of me
Continue to Rest In Peace, Grandma.
