Lingering thoughts

Last night, I had a dream about you. While I can’t recall all the details, I distinctly remember seeing a new email from you in my inbox. When I woke up, I checked my email, but there was nothing new from you. I spent two or three hours on the chat app before logging out.

I tried to keep myself busy with the kids, hoping it would help me remember and miss you less, but it didn’t work. I just returned from Jumaah prayer, and thoughts of you keep coming to mind. I miss you, just like I always do. How was your day, sayang? How have you been? How are the kids?

"ودي أنسى اللي صار، بس كيف أنسى اللي كان."

"I wish to forget what happened, but how can I forget what was."
