Your clothes and mine

La, yesterday Mak asked me to unpack your clothes that she has brought back from your house and keep them in the wardrobe.

As I did so, La, I was overwhelmed by the feeling of sadness a couple of times. I was repeatedly reminded of you as I fold away your clothes. I remembered you wore this piece on this day, that piece on that day, you bought this piece when I was out shopping with you, I bought you that top and so on.

Now, there would be no you to wear those clothes.

I don't know if you noticed, La, if you are able to see me, that is. That I have taken to wearing your clothes. It's just a physical way of me trying to make myself feel better about everything. To make me feel you more. Sort of.

Is it crazy, La? To be doing this? To be wearing your clothes, whichever that I can fit in? Don't be sniggering at me if you think it's silly, ok La? Just let me be. Anyway, it's not unusual for me to wear your clothes and you wear mine. The only difference now is that you will no longer be wearing mine.
