My dearest Tan Chilly

Writing letters to you

comes to me as easy as breathing -

to know there is one person who

chooses to keep me in her heart - beating.

Every evening as the incense sticks

burn to their death

and your smell fills the

room by its breadth,

I think of your untimely hugs

and big doe eyes - the biggest I have ever seen;

I want to run to you,

go back to who we were and how we had been.

I flew away in search for another nest,

where I could, at last, put my anxieties to rest

But peace I never found, my friend..
I don't know how to tell you ,
I thought I was as good as the best,

but I have failed the test.

My heart yearns to come back

but you won't be there too long,

the nest where I no longer belong.

Know that you are in my prayers.

Know that I love you

more than my words can get through.
