Heartbeat

Heartbeat

I am who I am because of you,

I owe my life to you.

The older I grow,

The more I need you.

All I need is one more chance

For everything I couldn’t tell you.

One flower for every time I ache for you,

A whole garden thus grew.

One day, I’ll become a mum too,

But not as good as you;

I’ll teach them all you taught me,

But will never be able to explain how it felt to lose you.

You lived so less and suffered so more,

You laughed so less and loved so more.

I wait for you to come back,

Every dusk and dawn.

Why is God taking so long?

I won’t love Him less when we’re together,

My love for Him is also true.

The second innings will be just ours,

We have to catch up on a lot,

That time, you’ll be my baby,

I’ll give you all the love you never got.

- To my beloved mother, from her grateful daughter.
