Mommy,
I thought I could get anything in this world if I had enough money
but I can't buy time.
All I want is a year
or even just a month.
If only I could buy time to spend with you.
Just one more day.
Just one more hour.
I never apprecieated the precious hours I spend with you. I spend them unwisely, fighting with you instead.
I guess it is true when they say human only realise how precious something can be once it's been taken away.
Why must it be you.
I won't question Allah anymore as it has been two years.

While I was waiting for you, I kept thinking
I thought of all the times you waited for me.
I thought about how tired,
about how lonely,
about how miserable you must have been.
I am aware that you are right beside me as I'm typing these words,
for it is Ramadhan.
I just wanted to say how miserable I have been.
My mind went blank, all I know was that I had to see you.
To tell you I miss you.

I'm not going to be foolish.
I won't dream of a great love.
I won't dream of a love that will last forever.
Those things will never come true.
I don't want to be hurt again.
I am so used to feeling lonely,
That loneliness thought me a sense of comfort.
But only gets bitter each day.

You and I were speaking the same language.
But we'll never understand each other.
That's because we're both so selfish
We were both screaming to make our voices heard.
That's why we drown each other out.
I did not meant to say any harsh words.
I'm sorry for not being a filial son.
I'm sorry for not understanding you while you were at the final stage of cancer.
You were right when you said you shouldnt have brought me up.
Although I understand you did not mean it.
Please forgive me, you left me too harshly.

But I can't buy time.
All I want is a year.
or even just a month,
just one more day
just one more hour
to say Thank You
I will treasure this life you gave me
I will make each day count
and I will never forget the sacrifices you made for me
Happy Ramadhan.
