Forgetting You

Today I caught myself forgetting you

But then I remembered how could I?

When you hugged me in mornings to wake me up, warm snuggles after bedtime stories, sitting around the backyard pool, and you'd name all the trees, it's a shame couldn't learn all their names,

Feeding me those fruits I hate(secretly made me love them somehow), playing songs on your favorite radio with a brown leather cover- humming along to the lyrics while tapping your fingers gently, 

Sitting on the terrace for hours under the summer skies,

Giggling when we'd do the silliest things,

You couldn't see but you felt so much, teaching us to feel so much,

But today I caught myself forgetting you, 

But then I remembered how cold I thought- when I'm a little piece of you, one day maybe I'll forget how you sounded when you hummed those songs, how your crisp sarees felt when you smothered us with all that love,

Not today though, not today though
