Morning falls like rain as you try to wake up early,
Yet the sleep is too tempting as it drown you deeper into those endless dream.
I miss out the goodness of morning as I skipped the water training which started at 8 am.
There goes another night as I spent the rest of my day at home doing assignments.
I miss my mom, dad and Anwari. I miss my family.

As I went down to buy lunch, I feel like I am losing my breath in waves.
Knowing that every crash is bleeding the hourglass.
Everyone keeps talking, but they don't mean anything.
I like the peace whenever I am alone.
Though at times I feel empty. It seems imbalance.

My friend has just ended her 2 years of relationship.
It was disheartening to hear that.
We may lose focus in our life.
There are just too many words we are never meant to learn.
I hope that you could be strong.

I walked the same old path when I was getting my dinner.
At the junction, I was staring at the traffic light.
I was wondering how it would be like to cross the pedestrian way with the red light.
Perhaps it would give you peace. But it is foolish to live in such way that repletes with regrets.

All we need is some relief. Through these hard times.
Keep on praying and talk to him.
For he is there to protect your naked soul.

With love,
Arif
