i've always dreamed of sleeping in your arms
from the day i was conscious enough.
i dreamed of smelling the breakfast you made
and the scent of the detergent you used to wash my clothes.
also dreamed of going home to warm hugs and
"how's your day?"
sometimes, i wished you saw me singing on stage
with the friends you told me to stay away from.
however, they became my family instead.
i wish i get the love i expected as a child.
but it never happened as far as i can remember.
never happened to get great hugs from you when i feel sad
never happened to get enough appreciation on things i sacrifice for you.
i never got the simple things a daughter like me
could ever ask for.
never did. maybe
