'
Missing you.....'
It scares me
Family Bonding is a precarious
thin thread.
Relationships only exist on fb
Relations visiting each other is sacrilegious-
“How could they even think of coming to pay a visit??”
“Don’t they know today is a Sunday??”
“MY holiday and tomorrow is the kids Unit Test??”
‘Relations’ have been
cast on to a ‘ship’
I meet my friends more often than my cousins or bros and
sisters
I miss my cousins
I miss my childhood
I miss my nani [as she
made sure we all found time to bond]
I miss those days when there was no time set for ‘playtime’
I miss their attention, love
I miss their asking me something
I miss our sharing and caring
I miss our girlish giggles
I miss listening to grievances and acknowledging concerns
I miss the chilling out and spending time together
I miss the emotional bonding
I miss all that and much more
Those were the days my friend!
As the years pass by
I see them grow and go their separate ways
I see them grow ambitious and independent
I see them grow… away …
But that bonding feeling---does stay
Time goes so fast, we don’t see it pass
Before we know it we are breathing our last.
Those were the ONLY days my friends.
