As I was laying by your side on the hospital bed, I secretly wish we were somewhere more familiar, and more comforting instead. Somewhere like home, where I could watch the overplayed teochew (or hokkien) show with you. So that I could pretend not to know what is going on and ask you rhetorical questions in exchange for your nodding in agreement and grinning in amusement. More so, I wish for you to remind me of how you would call my name, because it seems to be fading with time. Maybe I could even get a chance of walking next to you again, holding your hands in mine. Just maybe.
