As her mother took her last breath in,
She rushed through the foggy mist,
Not able to breathe herself,
She halted, screeched,
Rummaged for water.



Hardly able to drink she was,
Spilling few drops on to the earthy ground.
She started her car again,
Speeding,
Seeing the trees pass by,
Her memories hit a flash back.



All the things came rushing to her,
And as the memories flowed in,
Also fell the first drop of tear from her dark brown eyes.



Her throat again dry,
She didn’t stop.



Promenading the hospital corridors,
She reached, ICU
She missed a heartbeat; the words gave her a shock,
Shivering she entered,
Only to find a ragged pile of pale bones.
The wrinkled hands rose in acknowledgment
Holding on to her hand,
Her mother smiled,
Which she was unable to return.



It was just as if her mother was waiting
For this last perfect bond to happen,



“MAMA!!’ she cried
Her mother heard it too,
The last words of her daughter,
Which hardly felt the way when she had first said it years ago.



The clock kept running,
There was nothing more to do,
She wiped her tears and got out of the room.



For one last time
She looked back at those same words
I C U
It made sense to her for some very odd reason,
I See You
And again for some unknown reason she smiled,
Just as the droplet from her eyes
Followed the beautiful curve of her lips.
