I miss you mother
Only it had been you
Who gave me freedom and courage
Endowed with the beauty of trust
Had given me the space to be
And navigate times though rough
A gentle pat, cuddles at night
Singing me Bollywood songs instead of lullabies
I miss when I used to be younger
Telling you about my friends and school
I loathe that this generation has termed it now as uncool.
I miss you alike Dad
And jogging at 5AM
I want to collect all the paper toys
you folded out of love and care
I miss the essay topics assigned
I wanna redo our swimming lessons
I wanna hold onto you tight
As my nightmares worsen.
I miss my idiotic friends
The laughter, the joy
Talking at hours stretched
Gossiping our youths away
The unasked for life lessons
The untold adios, imbecillic chatter
Our ambitious futures and undid chores.
I miss YOU too
I think of you at dawn and sunrise
I dream of you at dusk
I fall to sleep at your thoughts in nights
At midnight I wake to the nightmares of mistrust
At noon it only does strike me
Of what had been lost
Once what had been a bond
That lasted through storms alike
As fragile as a dandelion has it
Become, does it ever strike?

Poem explication
This is an ode to my parents, friends and unrequited love. And yes my mother used to sing me romantic bollywood songs as lullabies as a kid. (Icon behavior fr fr) With my growing age my bond with both my parents has severed little by little, and I very obviously miss the way it used to be.
Due to my parent's job profile I have to shift cities frequently, due to which I have had to leave lots of friends behind, our memories and everything really.
And if you've read the previous poem "Remember?" You'd know who I am talking about. Very honestly this is the first person I have ever written poems for in a romantic setting and being seen as nothing but a brother... Sucks.
If y'all liked the poem free feel to let me know in the comments, each interaction means a lot to me honestly. Thank you stay safe and loads of luv ❤
