A year is almost gone
Your voice has faded
Your shadow has disappeared
Your smile stopped hovering
Over my late night dreams
I missed your fights with me
And when we sat together
When you would ask about the same thing for the gazillion time
And I respond with the same answer
Each and every time
You don’t show up in my face anymore
Your memory is fading crucially, slowly
At times, I remember what you would have done
What you would have said in situations
I miss our fun together
And your very shy smile
I miss your voice in my ears
And me, so so angry that you’re calling out for me
I’m tired grandma, give me a freaking break
I miss it all you know
I wish if you were still here
I have a photo of you in my clutch
I look at it whenever I open it
It is you, but it’s not like you
I miss your hug and your kiss
I miss brushing your silky hair as I bathe you
I miss that soap smell of yours after you take a bath
And how we fought over putting on your head scarf
For I always hated it
It’s our first Easter without you
I miss all the old Easters we had together
And your fight over eating eggs, you didn’t like it
Today, I sat at your place at the table
I saw you sitting were I did, you saw me and you smiled
I miss your smile more than anything
And the warm look in your eyes
Come back to me
Or ease the time till we meet together
I know you’re watching over me
So visit me in my dreams more often
And take me back to the start
