You're gonna see him in a few hours.
You're excited.
Happy even.
That's good!
That's great!
I wish nothing but the best.
Enjoy the butterflies, my friend.
Get drunk on romance.
Get high on joy.
When the past knocks,
Turn off the lights
And
Tell it nobody is home.
You deserve a break from wishing for the maggots to come.
Spare yourself a few hours please.
Even if just for today
We are sick, yes.
We are ill.
But nobody has to know for now
Not even us.
