Come back, my dear

My dear…
Do I miss you?
Ah, that is an understatement.
Does the dawn miss its dusk?
Is the moon complete without the stars?
Yes, it is sacrilege to ask, ‘Do I miss you?’
I wish…
I had valued you more when I had you.
Had I done that, mayhap, my todays
Would not seem as bleak
As my tomorrows?
So, of course, I miss you! No question.
I want…
To return to your fold
I crave your warm embrace, even your pace.
Anything…anything but this suspended
State of denial that all is well.
It is not, is it?
Oh, come back…
My normalcy, my mundane, lay life
Toiling amid the sundry chores of existence.
Oh, I beg you…come back
Embrace me once more, take me
Back to the normal that I have known.

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
