"You'll see me in hindsight

Tangled up with you all night

Burnin' it down


Someday when you leave me

I bet these memories

Follow you around."

Taylor's POV

"This is a miracle! Look." Dr. Pitt exclaims, showing me my brain scans. With a dull look on my face, I took a look at the size difference knowing very well who caused this sudden miraculous shrinking cancer. "How is this possible? How could this actually happen? How can your tumor grow smaller every time we take scans?!"

"I-I know, right?" I spoke softly.

"Goodness, by next week it will be gone! Is this possible? Did I misdiagnose you?"

"No, you didn't." I shake my head. "I'm sure of it."

"I've been a doctor for decades, but I've never seen a case like yours! I've never read anything like this in any of the medical books or papers!"

"...I guess I was lucky." I shrugged, pursing my lips as I lied through my teeth. Lucky, my ass.

"Have you been taking something else in secret?" Wide-eyed, he stares at me full of curiosity in his eyes. I shook my head again, saying no. He was right, it's just that someone promised me to take my pain away.

Even if that pain's just replaced with something worse.

Longing.

My new disease.

"Did you tell your family?" He asks me. "I bet they're over the moon! What did your boyfriend- I mean fiance say? Isn't he happy? Seeing your scan, you can have the wedding you postponed."

"...I'm...I'm going to postpone that a bit more." I hesitated saying it.

"Why?"

"He...went far away from here."
