I miss you

Essay

O baby, I miss you in the soft, slow mornings, in the hush of lazy noon, and in the quiet of calm evenings. You know I feel alone here. I just want to come home …

Kiss

Note

On good days,
I want to kiss you madly.
And on bad days,
I want to kiss you deeply.

Good old days

Essay

Can I go back to the good old days just for one last time? To smile without the weight of pain, and breathe in the calm of peace. To make myself believe that …

Phoenix

Note

After all the chaos,
I will be reborn from the ashes
and soar high to the moon,
like a phoenix from a fairy tale.

I hope you’ll watch me
rise, just like the old days.

The promise

Note

I know that one day I will collapse,
And hopefully, you won’t witness it.
I will make sure that, until your last breath,
I’ll stay strong and keep us stronger.

That’s the promise I made—to hold you
Forever.

It's you

Note

You are the most precious gift
you could ever wish for.
You are the light that guides you
through the darkest nights.
You are the Santa
you’ve always dreamed of.
You are the Christmas
you’ve been waiting for.

Hope

Note

To my daughter,

In the midst of the war,
Amid the heart-aching pain,
Through the windy nights,
On my darkest days,
You are my hope.

Dream

Note

I want to stay in the dream from the night we met. It’s the wildest fantasy I’ve ever had. Can we meet there again? Just to kiss you one last time, and hold you once more after a million embraces.

Scar

Note

There’s a scar etched on my heart,
Forged by love from ages past.
Yet it makes me brave in the battle,
Brings hope amidst despair,
And guides me forward.

And I want you to know this:
Love is the wound where light flows in.
