Five days

Five days till twenty-one
How has it been like?

Pre-school
A small disagreement in class

Primary school
A fall in the courtyard
A prefect tie and badge

Secondary school
A consistent record of skipping CCA
An unanswered question
A change in perspectives

Polytechnic
A different system
A load of laughter
An agonising period of time
A family that I know is as forever as can be

Almost adulting
A full time job
An ability to spend
A supportive team
A hobby that saves
A bunch of friends who are my constants

But still something is missing

You

Scribbles

Today I indulge in self-pity as I think about Dad and the many people I miss...

-

That day our conversation was cut off by a phone call, and I'll probably never know what you were about to say

-

Fingertips against fingertips

Graze, trace, connection

Palm against palm

Loosen, press, assurance

Skin against skin

"Hold on tight"

-

Together we can contemplate 

about the ephemeral state of life and 

the topic of tattoo-ing wedding bands
