Voices Of My Heart

D E A R M O M

Mom, remember when I told you my friends are just there when they need me and I cried? You told me to leave them because I don't deserve to be treated like that.

Mom, remember when I asked you what if I'll not make it on the honor list? You told me it's okay that I don't need to pressure my self.

Mom, remember when I told you I want to be as pretty as them? You told me I don't need to be like them because I'm beautiful as I am then you gave me a lipstick as a gift.

Mom, remember when I told you that I'm sad? You hugged me and cook my favorite food.

Mom, remember when I told you I want to become a writer? You supported me and read the stories I wrote on my notebooks.

Mom, remember when you're at the hospital and I am crying? I told you I don't know how to live without you.

Mom, I don't know if you remember that when you gasp for breath for the last time, my whole world collapsed.

Mom, tell me how can I be fine when every night I still play all of our memories in my mind?

Mom, tell me because I can no longer bear this pain.

Mom, tell me when I'm gonna get over you?
