Too late now

I always wanted to stay at home

Be with Athamma

Spend more time with her

She was lonely

Had only us

And none of us seemed to

Find enough time to

Spend with her

I stayed at home

Once a week

Sometimes I didn’t

But I usually did

And we spent time together

But it wasn’t enough

Then it was too late

And she was gone

No matter how much time we have free now

It’s useless

She is gone

I wanted to study abroad

I’m glad I didn’t

I wanted to live away from home

Closer to work

I’m glad I didn’t

I have my own bed room

I wanted to spend more time in it

But I had to sleep in

Athamma’s room

There were days I wanted to be alone

I wanted to be more grown up

Be alone

I wanted to sleep in my own room

I’m glad I didn’t
