I look through the window at the yellow lights far from my house. I would be in a different world one day, away from family and friends, in a world I decided to be in, to build my life.

I would look out through another window there, thinking of all those times I wished to be in a brand new world and how much I struggled to get there. I would be reminded of the great times I had with friends, how much I enjoyed sleeping late hours and the closeness felt in being with the family. I would think of how childish I used to be and how mature I had become then. I would be reminded of all my responsibilites, to be a good daughter to my parents, to be a good student and above all, to be a good human being with good values. I would think how my life took me through its ups and downs, of all the people who taught me great lessons and those whom I felt thankful to. I would think of all the unforgettable memories I had and of all the times life had been so easy. I would realise that it had been my decision to leave everything behind and travel to a new place to achieve all that I wanted in life. Though it would be difficult at times, but thats how I decided to learn.

Then, I would also be reminded of the night when I was sitting next to my window and thinking of how my thoughts would be, 2 years later. And I would wish if I could be next to the same window near my bed, looking at what I would be looking at then, but through another window. I would wish to be home.

I would wish to play with the little kids of my colony, to have a walk in my favourite lane, to visit my favourite coffee shop, to watch T.V. with my parents every night, to listen to my bro playing his guitar. I would wish to enjoy everything one more time.
I would wish if I could still have the time to write my thoughts like I used to, I would wish I could still have time for myself, still find time to gaze at the coconut trees, to look at the wide sky, the clouds moving, to feel the raindrops on my face, to stand still and enjoy the chillness of the blowing breeze. I would wish I had some more time.

I realise how rich I am now...
