Typhoon night
There's a typhoon raging tonight,
bringing me nostalgia..
The scent of broken leaves, mixed in with the scent of damp soil.
The flickering light from the candles.
Casting shadows on the walls.
The cold air enveloping me.
I see your face in my mind.
I hear your voice.
I remember the things we used to do.
On a windy, rainy night like this,
Like it was just yesterday.
Vivid memories.
I wonder if I can feel you
When I reach out my hand to touch my mental image of you.
I see your face,
Smiling back at me
Two skinny girls
Sitting in front of a tall candle.
We've always found it fun
Guessing shadow figures.
Laughing out loud at the absurd imaginations.
I hear your voice.
I hear your laugh.
My heart is heavy...
While the typhoon create chaos outside,
I find comfort.
As it awakened the memories
Of nights like this,
Of you and me.
I blew out the candle.
The scent of wax wafting in the air.
I close my eyes, hoping to see you in my dreams.
~5 days since you left us..
