Linger

I remember how doing things 'together' meant doing the same things at the same time while at different places.

I remember how thick the consistency of a packet of instant porridge you would willingly and happily consume.

I remember how the smile would form over your face the moment you sense my presence when you wake up from your little naps.

I remember how conveying sensitive thoughts meant writing letters and forbidding each other to read while in any of our presence.

I remember so many minor things that played a huge part in the love life I once had. But I guess they still remain as happy thoughts bcuz I find myself smiling when they appear in my head.

I am no longer clouded by the idea of loose ends, for some things are better left unknown.

We will grow out of this shell and emerge as something so much stronger and wiser

But meanwhile, I will take my time
