〔 death dream 〕

"xiao..."

there you were again,
lying sickly on your bed.
that was where you
would die.

this particular nightmare of
your death would never
leave him for eternity.

you coughed incessantly,
blood landing on your palm,
turning it a dark shade of
black.

xiao couldn't resist
the urge to cry.

"don't cry... i hope our
last memory of each other
can be a little bit happier
than this."

you wanted to wipe his tears
with your hand, but feared
his perfect face being
stained with your blood.

xiao couldn't take it anymore.
burying his face in the crook of
your neck, the only sound in
the room was his painful
sobs.

although your neck felt wet
with tears, you didn't mind.
you won't ever get to experience
more of his touch anymore.

you laced your fingers with his,
gently brushing his hair with
your free hand.

"xiao, even if we never meet again,
please don't forget me..."

your words started slowing towards
the end, the hand brushing his hair
coming to a stop forever.

just like that, the most important
person in xiao's life was taken away
from him by a disease.

- he wished there was a way to save you.
