It’s November, today.
Today,
November 2008.
Time flies fast
— really fast.
It seemed like,
yesterday.
Yes, yesterday.
Yesterday,
when I was small.
Small yet,
feeling lucky.
Lucky,
there.
To be there.
There,
on top.
Thinking,
I am the happiest girl …..
Happiest.
In the world.
World.
Where I thought
I belong.
To be there
Where i thought I belong.
Belong to him.
To be home with him.
Home where I thought where the heart is.
Home.
To the one,
the only one who loves me.
Hang on,
hanging on….
It was just yesterday when I used to sit on my father’s lap.
That lap.
The lap that used to be my world.
World.
Where my world spinned.
I used to be the apple of his eye.
His world.
We were inseparable.
He and me.
We were one.
I,
The only one that mattered to him.
That was before.
Before.
Long ago,
before I learned the basics.
Basics of life,
of ABC’s,
It was in school where I learned my ABC’s.
It was there where I learned that I am a person.
At that age where you form your values.
Learn what family is
That the family is you.
Fast forward.
Life.
Fast forward to the present.
Now.
This is me.
Me.
Now.
Me and the now.
The now and me.
This is me.
Me that has been torn.
I’ve been torn.
Torn by time,
into pieces.
Pieces.
Pieces,
Me,
Time.
Tested by time.
Time.
Time and pieces.
Pieces and Me.
Tested.
This is me now.
Pieces,
that I am now trying put back together.
Those little things that make a Me.
Me.
I am me,
with my little me’s
— Myka, Michiko and Kim.
Magical.
Mysterious.
and Knocks me off.
It is just,
Unbelievable.
