You are my Romeo, and I am your Juliet.
On the leeching coldness of the concrete, as you hold me in your arms against your quickly fading body, I weep. I weep for you, suffering by yourself for many months thinking I was gone and now that I have come back to you, you are the one who is leaving me.
And selfishly I weep for myself, for now I have to bear this alone, and I'm not sure I can. I can't do this with you dead, I need you alive, I need you in my arms with your arms around me in return.
We still need to buy our house with a huge garden and tons of animals and go exploring together. Our time shouldn't have run out now. Your time shouldn't have run out now. And so now, we weep together, surrounded by those that we hid from for so long.
And as you take your final shuddering breath and fall limp and lifeless in my arms and your natural cold now feels corpse-like instead of calming, I realize that I am truly all alone. I have to face the rest all alone. I have cried all my tears and am left with unsatisfying, heaving sobs. So I do the only thing I can think of, I open my mouth and I scream.
The world around me falls away and it's just me and my broken, mangled screams. I wish it was me instead of you, I know you could do this alone, you did it for many months. But we are opposites in every way.
In every way except for two, we are both girls, and we are both dead. This isn't goodbye, this is a beginning. I'm coming for you Wren. I'm joining you.
