A Bed

Suddenly, I started to feel a chest ache the ache of missing someone.

This time, the “someone” is not a fleshy  human being ; it is a moment when I was a little girl, happily sharing my bed with my three- and four-seconds-older siblings.

The middle seat of the king-sized bed was always reserved for the youngest, while the two corners were claimed by the so-called elder brother and sister.

I always acted like a spooky, panicked creature who depended on them and was protected by them. 

In the middle of the night, whenever I felt unsettled by the invisible, I would reach out to touch both of them—still sleepy—just to feel safe. And the magic worked: one touch, and I would fall asleep again.

I realized how precious it was to simply sleep next to your siblings.

Sharing a bed.

The memories,chaos,comfort,warmth, safety, love,fights,peace .

I call it life .

But we part ways to make our own lives.
