It’s baba’s birthday today and I am a lot more emotional. Some days are harder than the rest and much more difficult. From the quietest corner today, I am sharing this poem here and wishing baba a very happy birthday. Wherever you are, may this be your happiest day.
Life is not the same without you, will never be.
“Not Without You”
Like a lonely sunflower
I keep looking for my sun,
Anxiously searching everywhere
I wither when I find none
Is it sadness, anger, remorse,
or an unimaginable shock?
I crumble without the one
Who taught me to walk
You carried me all night
So I could get some sleep,
Life has stopped without you
I hide myself and weep
I haven’t stopped crying
Since the day you went away,
I have lost all my zest
I find no hope in a new day
Your presence gave me strength
Your words wiped away my tears,
Stranded in a storm without you
Now, I live with a constant fear
You were my joy, my confidence
My friend, my love, my lifeline,
Without you dear daddy
Your little girl can no longer shine
You ran behind my cycle
To hold me when I fall,
I can’t find you anymore
You don’t answer my calls
I want to write you a letter
And sing your favorite song,
There’s so much more I want to do
But you are suddenly gone
I wish there’s another world
Where I’ll sit with you forever,
Talking endlessly on everything
Sipping our favorite tea together
I look up at the stars
Clueless which one is you,
I secretly make a wish
So I can quickly meet you
I hope there’s another life
Where I’ll again find you,
YOU will live forever
Without ever bidding adieu.
