A Wish
by K. A. Tuhin

Sometimes I look up at the stars at night,
wishing that you were holding me tight.

I hold back the tears before they slide down my cheek,
praying to Allah to keep me strong, not weak.

I make a wish in the deepness of my heart
that soon we'll be together, not so far apart.

I think of all the good times we have shared,
I want you to know that I'll always care.

I want you to hold me and never let me go,
I miss you and love you, just thought I'd let you know.
