I miss saturday morning breakfasts with dad,
I miss the laughs and quirks over the teas we shared,
I miss mom telling me to quit eating chillies
I miss the way she loved buying trinkets that were cute and frilly, (not that i'd wear them)
I miss fighting with my brother,
We had a love hate relationship like no other,
I miss wrapping my arms around my sweet little baby,
I miss her as much as she misses me,
I miss running errands for my grandfather,
I truly hope he's feeling better,
I miss talking to dad about everything,
I miss the way kakak loves to sing,
I miss the way she'd always make me fish when she cooks mutton,
I love the way she squeals every time she finds a missing button,
I miss arguing with dad which plant would look better at the front porch,
I miss hearing my brother getting a earful every time dad has to look for the torch,
I miss cuddling up to dad on weekend afternoons as we watch tv,
I miss seeing mom's eyes grow huge at every saree she sees, (apparently her monstrous collection will be mine someday, APPARENTLY, we'll see)
I miss mom telling me to wear things that I deem inappropriate,
And I miss her staring at me as if I was being weird,
I miss my bed, my home and my family,
One of the many joys I can't wait to see.....
I miss running to Jill's place for the Sim's,
Its been ages it seems,
I miss Guling shushing us quiet,
I loved living on my own planet,
I miss Adie's prodding fingers,
I miss the way our gaze lingers,
I miss taking hour long lunch breaks and forgoing the rest of class,
I miss Guling inspecting every inch of her glass,
I miss Adie winding up asleep on my shoulder every time a lecture drags,
I miss Jilly's witty gags,
I miss our Mango Mania trips,
And our San Fran coffee sips,
I miss how they make fun of my ignorance,
And take it upon themselves to vividly explain things to me with great "patience"
Life truly does have its ups and downs,
Its smiles and frowns,
But with such beautiful memories within you,
How can you feel your life isn't true,
With such love and cherish,
I don't think I have a remaining wish,
Except that these joys remain with me till my very last moment,
For my life as blessed as it has been, has also been truly pleasant....
