dedicated to.

she went away but i couldn't be there.

only at the moment of news does it hit me
i wish she had more out of life

i wish life had been kinder to her

i wish i had done more

i wish i could hug her one more time

and have her grinning back at me

i remember her hugging me affectionately when i first left for melb

with tears in her eyes and calling me her 乖孙女

i remember her being full of energy and zest, only to be reduced to

nothing in less than a year

it is always with a loss that the truth drives home

of how short and fragile life is

of how loved ones should be treasured and held close to heart

because there is no time for regrets nor turning back the cruel hands of time

to the best lady who'll forever be in our hearts and memories

love always.
