One Day

An aching heart
Reminiscing what we once had
For some reason, today
I feel like I have to say goodbye

Broken dreams
That were once filled with possibilities
Of a life filled with endless kisses
Embraced in your love and gentle kindness

Tender love
Was what I remember we once shared
A love that was not meant to be
Not now, but maybe in the future

One day
Was what we used to say
A hope so bright that I still cling on to
For I want to keep myself close to you

Our chemistry
There is no denying it exists
The sparks that fly when we're together
The fireworks display when we hold each other

For now
All I can do is cry myself to sleep
Hoping the tears will drown my pain 
In the afterglow of love that was slain

Indulging in the memories of us
Keeping them from turning to dust
Until we can finally reveal
The deep connection that now seems surreal

So I say to you 
Goodbye, my true love
You will always be a part of me
I drench myself in the sweetness of you, baby

Every moment
Of everyday
Until one day

One Year Without Mama


How quickly time flies.

It has now been a year since I lost my mother so very suddenly. Not a day has gone by without me thinking about her. Not an hour has gone by without me missing her. Not a minute has gone by without me wishing that she was still around. 

I miss her laughter. 
I miss her voice. 
I miss her cheerful nature. 
I miss her calm demeanour in the face of chaos.

I miss my mother. 

They say time heals all wounds. But it has been a year and the wound still feels as fresh as it was a year ago. 

But, I will trudge along in life, comforted by a loving husband and my precious little girl. 

I will continue on living, knowing that my father and brother need me. 

So, time keeps on moving. Until the day, I can finally meet my mother again. 

I love you, mama.
