For My Ammu

To My Precious Ammu — You Are Not Alone

Hey Ammu,

If your heart feels heavy today,
Please let mine carry a little of that weight.
You don’t have to be strong all the time.
It’s okay to rest, to feel, to simply be.

I wish I could hold your hand right now,
Not to fix everything —
But just to remind you that you never walk alone.

You are more than your sadness,
More than the cloudy thoughts —
You are my light, my love,
The reason I believe in better days.

Ammu,
Even the stars need darkness to shine.
So take your time, cry if you must,
But know this — I’m here.
Always.
Loving you in silence, in storm, in sunshine.

With all of me,
Surya
