Maa

Updated: Sep 8, 2020



I miss the warmth of the skin

You don’t like to flaunt

I miss the smile that you think

Makes your eyes crinkle all wrong

I miss the peace in your silence

That they mistake for your obedience


It’s been years

Years since I have slept beside you

Years you have spent without me

But the years

They don’t make it any easier

Just keep collecting

Like the lint on your favorite sweater


I want you here with me

So you can tell me

That it’s okay to be this way

It’s okay to not get that A

I want you here with me

So you can whisper and say

Koi baat nahi beta

I want you here with me

So I can believe you when you say that

I haven’t let you down

I want you here with me

So you can scold me

For going to bed this late

Or correct me when

For not folding my shirts that straight

I want you here with me

So you don’t have to hear my voice break

Over a long distance call

I want you here with me

So hiding my tears is not that easy

I want you here with me…

Because I miss you Maa
