Mother

Time

Time is never enough; as we grow, time shrinks.

Every child yearns to become an adult, to become their own person and go on with a new journey. I was a child too…

But no one told me about the biggest lie; being happy. Because how can one be happy when not in your presence?

As the time approaches for me to become my own person and shape my life, while it seems exciting, the idea of being kilometers away from you is exhausting.

One could feel sadness at not witnessing you grow old, seeing you age. However, maybe it’s a blessing not to observe your hands becoming wrinkled or your warm eyes weakening.

Witnessing it all would be racing against time – a race no one can win.

Is time our limit? Perhaps not. Because if it is, then we are confined, but our love surpasses any limit. It’s limitless because time is only physical, and our love exists in all realms. The only thing time takes is our physical connection. Yet, who said our connection is solely physical?

Memories, love, and connection are all things that time will never take.

Time; something always running and scarce, making one feel lost-but not strong enough to snatch our love.

Always and forever, an untold story

“Always and forever”, in our prayers we whisper

Mother, take me in your arms tightly

Mother, let’s show them our always and forever.
