Hi love, do you remember me?
I know you didn't expect this question from me. It has been so long since I not only spoke to you, but also thought of you. I can't say I didn't have the time; it's just that I didn't give it to you.
But my love, I miss you a lot. I miss all the things we did together, the places we went to play and eat. I still remember we playing video games, the summer breaks we spent together watching our favorite cartoon. Do you remember how we used to share my rotis with my friends, which mom used to pack for me every day for breakfast?
You know every secret of mine of which even I don't remember some. You were always with me in thick and thin, happy, and sad.
I was always happy when I'm with you, my love. But now I see myself in haste to impress others and still in hunger to achieve something which I don't have to. I'm here trying to remind you all the time and the good times we had and the crazy things we did together, but I didn't, said a reason that I don't have time. All this new technology rusted my heart with a fake smile and spirit. I cry more often than I used to, but I don't find a hand wiping my tears, which happened when you were with me.
Now even though the whole world is shaken by the COVID-19 virus, I'm happy because this quarantine gave me some time to think about you, laugh with my heart on the funny things we did. I wish you could happen to me again and again.
This quarantine made me know that "Childhood" has no necessary connection with age.
My first love, my Childhood.
