Dear Avie,
I’m sitting outside.
The air is perfectly set.
The sun is shining.
Glistening.
Moments like these make me yearn for you.
Even more so than I already do.
Sometimes I think you are inside.
Napping.
Soon you’ll wake.
I’m listening for your cry.
My ears search for your perfect voice.
Aching for you.
Come sit next to me.
Take away my fears.
Tell me what is it that I need to do.
I don’t want to shed anymore unhappy tears.
I wish we could run away together.
Let’s go to the beach.
We could play in the sand while holding each other’s hands.
Dreaming.
We can’t.
You aren’t here anymore.
Old man winter takes over the day.
The smog.
Fills my lungs.
The frozen air.
Takes my breath away.
Making it even harder for me to breathe.
I can’t see.
Soon winter will turn back into summer.
Set the timing right.
Take me back to the beach.
I need to be released.
Xoxo- Mommy
