"if I died today
what would you do?"

he asked
and I was too stunned

I said I would mourn
and not want to live anymore

I answered truthfully
and saw tears brimming in his eyes

he shook his head
implying that I shouldn't feel like that

but how can I feel anything else?
he's brought so much happiness already

it's surreal

he stroked my head
with a shaking hand

"promise that you would live for me"

instantly
I promised

then he said
"I'm dying soon"

and my healing soul
shattered to pieces once again.
