Daddy's Little Girl on Flickr - Photo Sharing! flickr
she remembered the times,
feeling all jittery as she sighted her dad retrieving the homekeys at the doorstep,
that she would sprint across the living room,
and hide in her daddy's closet.
felt the adrenaline rush when her daddy was looking around for her
and found her in the closet.
excitedly, she yells 'DADDY, YOU'RE HOME!'
before snuggling into his warmth.
she also remembered,
where her brother and her were building sandcastles,
scooping pails of water from the brown seas,
and dashing short shuttle runs under the hot sun,
while her daddy and mummy were content watching their kids playing so happily
then,
she remembered where she started to talk less to her parents,
feeling irritated with her mummy especially,
for not understanding her needs.
on why having an unreasonable mum,
and the distanace drifted by glaring and shouting,
as if her mum was her worst enemy.
at that age,
she was venting her frustrations on her young bro
oh boy, she was a bully.
she made sure her brother suffered worse,
and made him more miserable when her mum made hers.
come to a point.
when she realised,
all these are transient,
all the childish fights and torment.
what made her realise that
all her beloved moments could only fade as memories
when she got abit more older
and she came to think that,
all these lost moments cannot be relived.
She now treasures the dinners with daddy and mummy,
especially when daddy can fetch the family out for a special feast.
She loves pushing trolleys alongside with her daddy and mummy,
squabbling and bickering with her playful brother
in the commonplace that goes unnoticed: grocery trips in supermarkets
cos she realised, there are somethings that once gone can never be relived,
so all she can do is to create more moments now, than to lament her loss.
nostalgic.
