Gravity

"I have dreamt in my life, dreams that have stayed with me ever after, and changed my ideas; they have gone through and through me, like wine through water, and altered the colour of my mind. And this is one; I'm going to tell it - but take care not to smile at any part of it..." ~ Emily Bronte

In the name of Allah, the Benevolent, the most Merciful.

At the outset, I must say that this post is about Akif and Aisha...

I have not written about them in so long. And I find not writing makes it heavy. The weight of keeping everything inside, its heavy.

I stumbled along this song, and it immediately gave me flashbacks of my angel son and angel daughter. Sometimes, how you feel, words just fall short. And it takes a song, or its melody to express it for you.


Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I still feel you here until the moment I'm gone
You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I've never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain

Set me free
Leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
Just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

You loved me because I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
All my fragile strength is gone


Set me free
Leave me be
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am and I stand so tall
Just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me

I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need
Here on the ground
You're neither friend or foe
Though I can't seem to let you go
One thing that I know
Is that you're keeping me down
Keeping me down

You're on to me
On to me
On to me
All over

Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long..

Mama misses you Akif

Ummi misses you Aisha

More than anyone could know or imagine...
