A digital letter close to my heart

·

Hi Nanu, I miss you a little extra today

It’s going to be 7 years tomorrow, I don’t talk about it much

Tbh I don’t know why, maybe it secretly hurts too much,

It wasn’t really fair how soon i lost you and nani

There was so much i wish i could tell you

I wish you could’ve met milo, he’s the cutest little fur baby ever, y’all would’ve loved him.

I wish i had more memories of you and nani, I wish I had more to hold onto.

Ive almost completely forgotten what “Nani house” used to smell like,

Ive definitely completely forgotten what your touch felt like

I wish I spent more time with you, I wish you saw me grow.

I wish i could talk to you about stuff that I can’t talk to others about,

I wish i knew how much i would miss you so that I spent more time with you.

It hurts how little i remember about you, sometimes even makes me question myself,

I remember asking you about meeting Gandhi Ji and you laughing and correcting me and telling me it was Indira Gandhi

I remember the Pizza Date with Nani, I remember the house.

I remember the Rakhi days but that’s really all i remember, 

The next thing that comes to my mind is you in that glass box…and i don’t really wanna remember that

I carry a piece of you and nani with me everyday, in that Om necklace that i wear, 

I also found the Kadas that nani gave me, I don’t know what’s inscribed in it though,

I wish you were here, there’s so much to know, 

I wish you could tell me your tales of bravery and prestige.

I wish I could be hugging you instead of trying to stopping my tears flow.

I hope I make you proud.

I miss you and nani, today, tomorrow and always.

I love you and nani, today, tomorrow and always.
