Her Thoughts

Ten Minutes Before I Die

Ten minutes before I die,
Would you make me smile,
And make me laugh,
Even if we're merely strangers?

Would you dare take me,
To an abandoned museum,
And feel the history,
Where treasures and gems are found?

Would you dare help me,
To gather the books from 1850s,
And fall in love,
Of the novels written by Shakespeare?

Would you dare make me remember,
How I love melted chocolate ice cream,
And how I hated green tea,
Even at the middle of cold weather?

Would you dare ready an antihistamine,
Just to let me taste,
The sinful tender of chicken,
Even if I'm allergic to it?

Would you dare make me feel,
How cold the sea breeze is,
How rough the sand were,
And how addicting the water is?

Would you dare make me experience,
The sunshine of sunrise,
The warmth of sunset,
And how breathtaking the night sky is?

Would you dare to complement me,
Even if my teeth are crooked,
Even if my skin is full of flaws,
Even if I'm not pretty?

Would you dare let me listen,
To those slow music,
With cheesy lyrics,
And feel like I'm in love?

Because by the time I'll be done writing this,
Time never stopped to let me indulge,
This sadness that crept in me,
And so I die without smiling for the last time.
