why so early?

By Nikhita Prabaharan

---

you gave me a lot which I never noticed, until the day you were gone,

then all rushingly crashed in my head.

Oh, I remember When you used to hold onto my tiny palms taking me with you to buy clothes. Oh, I remember.. when you came home after a tired day refusing to do anything else but

changed plans just to take me on a ride

around the street as I loved it.

Oh, i still remember you called none but me first to look at, when we wanted to buy that new house.

I remember when you never raised a finger at me but once you did and regretted it much.

Now, I regret for hurting you that time

Oh, I do remember,

you allowed no one to touch your phone

not even your own wife

but you willingly gave it to me

Oh, now I wish I spent that day with you.

If only I knew it was your last

Why did you go so early?
