Wind Chimes

DEAR ------,
I still love feeling of the wind ruffling my hair.
I still love listening to the sound of the sea in a shell.
I still love cupping my hand and listening to the hollowness within- the way you taught me.
I still listen to The Carpenters and Abba sitting on the terrace.
I still love baking the cake we first made together.
I still haven’t gotten over my anime phase.
I still am scared of ghosts.
I still want to sleep under the moon.
I still re-read the book we read together.
I still am obsessed with symbols.
I still listen to our song again and again.
I still have mood-swings.
I still want to go to the stars and visit you.
I still fall asleep thinking about you.
I still remember looking into your eyes and seeing the endless promises in them.
I still can’t get your voice out of my head.
I still wear the bracelet you gave me.
I still shed countless tears over it.
I still wish I told you everything I wanted to.
I still wish you had listened..
I still am haunted by your memories.

I miss you. Now and forever.

Yours,
Rowanna

P.S.: The heartless wind still keeps blowing and your wind chimes still tinkle, waiting for you to come home.
