You may not know this but every time I think of you, I think of home. My tears tell me how great my love was/is/will always be for you and I haven't got the slightest idea if you've spent even a single night fathoming about this. I need you to remember, darling, how happy we were. I need you to tell me you haven't forgotten.
Have you forgotten, darling? Sitting outside, in what felt like, the darkest part of the world (for me, for you), watching the orb grow brighter every night. Waiting for shooting stars so we could get another wish. Wishing I'd be with you on your adventures and you told me "perhaps, when you're older" and oh, if I only knew.
You spoke of bravery and taught me to be brave and I've always taken those things for granted. I thought I'd never have to need them. I thought you'd always be here. I thought you'd always be here to hold my hand. My coward heart. So weak. So vulnerable. Innocence -- no, FEAR kept me blinded. I never saw it coming. I never thought I could lose you when I have held you in my heart for so long.
I was hurt and I ached and I ache till now. But my tears tell me how much I still love you and yearn for you and need you.
I've been told hundred of times to stop living in memories, but we were so happy there I couldn't let go. Night spent looking were childish, foolish, nonsensical & unsteady, but the loveliest even. Always and forever. Always and for all of eternity.
*I want to be 6 forever. You were my Peter Pan. Still you are.

For my grandfather.
Someone told me I can hold precious things in my heart.
You know it is where you'll always belong.
