IronicallyME

Its been some time since I started this BLOG of MINE. And I realised I've MISSED out on 2 of the MOST IMPORTANT people in my LIFE. Today, here and here, on the 5th October 2006, this is for you guys.

Dedicated to my DEAREST MUMMY and DADDY.

Throughout this 18 years of my life, since birth and beyond

I'm grateful for you not sparing the rod on this incorrigible brat of yours

I'm sorry for the tears you've shed for my every misdeed

Even remorseful for the smiles you braved in front of me

Looking back at how's my life has changed

Reminds me how I took your teachings in vain

If I could got back all the way to square one

There's too many things I wouldn't have done

Remember how my grades sucked at school

All you said was how much better it was as compared to when I'm two

All the lies I've spun just to stay out late

Never have you once questioned why am I always in that busy state

Till now I'm repentent about the countless quarrels and squabbles we shared

And the hurtful words that shot out like I've never cared

I wasn't the bestest of the lot that God has granted you

Yet tender love and care is all that I've ever feel

Thanks for your undying support in all that I've done, even you haven't been saying much

Thanks for tolerating my ignorance and nonsense of such

Thanks for all the breakfasts on Sunday mornings, though you always forget my preferences.

Thanks for the accepting me the way you are despite my differences

Thinking back on how you used to laugh at my noble ambitions

And trying means and ways to help me out of sticky situations

I've never expressed the slightest tinge of appreciation

Not even recognising all of your hard work and perspiration

Often feeling lost and confused, not allowing you know what's happening

I just didn't want see how far down I was sinking

The Trust that you guys have in me means so much more than anything I could have imagined

Believing in me in my maturity and rationality

Even if disappointment overwhelm at times

The first thing that you cared about was whether I'm fine

I miss the warmth of your hands on my head

I miss the smile whenever I made a mistake

I miss the kiss when I'm sick in bed

I miss the hug reminding me that you're always there

I've been standing all alone against the world outside for too long

And there I thought I was so strong

I eventually forgot how to depend and confide

only to learn how to run and hide

I'm sorry

Although I doubt you guys would ever get to read this

Deep inside I hope someday you would understand at least

I hope that one day I'll grow up to be the man you want the world to see

One day I'll promise to do you proud

Daddy and Mummy,

I love you

I really do
