This is the lost letter to whoever finds it
Auntie I’m sorry for doing this, but I’m tired
I can’t do this anymore can’t live like this, I don’t know which one was hard
Losing my mother without saying goodbye or when I knew that my days with her
Where limited and she’d be gone soon, and it happened
To my mom I love you, I know you are seeing this
I know we fight sometimes, but I am what I am today because of you
You carried me for a whole nine months,
With care, you smiled at me when you couldn’t see my face
I wish the smile I’m making now, was because you’re still here
But you are resting my black queen.
You showed me love, we didn’t need to apologise to each other
When one of us was wrong we would somehow go back to being okay, happy and back to talking to each other like nothing happened.
Mama this is your child crying to you I MISS YOU.
I know if you were here you’d tell me I’m strong and that I’ll get through this
And that I am a king. I need you, I can’t imagine life without you
Ma I’ve been through so much
Dad isn’t here to give me the bit of you that you left in him
Seeing you gives my life purpose
I want you to be with me when I get married,
I want you to hug me when I finally move into my own house,
I fucken want you to ask me when am I coming to see you,
I want to call and ask how you are, but god had other plans, I believe.
The same god who made our love untouchable and unbreakable,
And to that same god I am changing your plans,
I want my mother

Auntie if you manage to read this, please give this peace to HER
Baby I am sorry for doing this to you, this life wasn’t mine, this is the reason why
I was acting up lately, I know I could have told you but it wouldn’t change anything
But I left this world with you in my heart, don’t cry for me, you will live happily after all of this
But do come say goodbye to me, you loved and changed me when no one was able to
You are a blessing okay, my other queen, stay strong, I know you are, I will always love you
Lots of forehead kisses from me and a very tight hug
I LOVE YOU, you are my forever, my munchkin
Stay the same…
And auntie thank you for trying to help, I’m sorry for leaving you with
So much to deal with, from my heart I appreciate everything
I love you” –f.p
