so mom just rubbed me off when i asked for instant noodles. i just wanted her to cook it.
i miss the days when we went out on late nights to have supper. i miss getting comfortable in transit, and eating, and talking and playing games. i miss the easy breezy trips across the causeway.
the understated conveniences of a family car.
i want dad to fetch me from time to time when i’m tired. i want for us to be able to head out to seemingly inaccessible corners and simpangs. i want what i lost and what i never had.
my needs are as simple as they get yet they can’t be fulfilled.
too long since i’ve truly felt something, the humble pleasures of life. too many times i’ve glared with envious eyes at those who experience it. too many complications cloud the very source of that form of contentment.
so i just close my eyes and imagine.
