With light fading towards the darkness of the evening, silence crawled up the abyss. Lacking the strength to get up and switch on the light, I sat in murkiness. You had left deserting me. You took with you my busy mornings, anxious evenings and watchful nights. The chill wind blowing through the window brought with it sharp, intense waves of remembrances. You came to me on that fateful night I lost my soulmate. The wheels of his car skid and he went – a thousand light years away. I was in a fathomless sea of grief. But you entered my world, a soft bundle with beautiful black hair. I kept on looking at you persistently, bewildered, helpless. Just then your delicate lips blossomed with an amazing mysterious smile. You drenched my soul. I picked you up, kissed you and became bonded to you by love. My new life began. We spent our days with love, laughter, worries, smiles, and tears. You became my sunshine in my cloudy days, I lived by pouring out all my love to you. But with the wink of an eye time flew off. From a wonderful little girl, you walked into a mature life. Your old ways were replaced by new ones. You needed me no more. When you announced your new love and your new job somewhere else, I was taken aback. But you were happy in your own world……….
Suddenly the mobile rang disturbing my thoughts. Startled, I answered it and was overwhelmed to hear your lilting, endearing voice there, “Mummy, Mamma, Mum,” My heart burst with joy. Suddenly the house glowed and flooded with the color of your presence. Nothing has changed. You are here next to my heart and always will be. I wept with tears of joy. I can never be free of the love and longing for my only daughter. My love for you is like a bottomless well. It is eternal, unshakable, no matter how apart we may be. I loved you then, I love you still. You are my heart, my soul, my world.
