beloved


This was taken several hours ago in the hot, scorching sun. I didn't get to see you yesterday due to my schedule. You know how much that pains me? To not see you even just for a day. I carry this guilt deep in my gut and all I could think about last night was you. So after viewing all those cute board games, I went straight to you. Getting a sunburn was the least of my worries. I wear sunscreen everyday now Nek hehe. After finished reading Yaasiin for you, I thought of, and this is really silly, of your feet and hands. How I could touch them again. Soft and wrinkled, swollen here and there, result of your athritis, but still manage to squeeze mine. I miss that. I miss you.


Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
