OCTOBER 2023

How many nightmares have I had of this moment? How many did HE have? A lot!
We always thought of stopping time and never rewind: we wanted to live together, for eternity. But sadly we were not magicians : those white coated heart-beating monsters were, indeed! But they never did anything for us and they never will. They are here for a single reason : to make our life worse than it already is.

The date was written on his arm, I couldn't look away. Just like when ice sticks to your tongue and, even if you struggle you can't take it off: it follows you wherever you go until it melts, until it dissapears, forever.
I can still see what happened when those monsters decided to put that tattoo on his arm and my life was ruined. On that day, before I fell asleep I heard him, suffering, suffocating slowly and I realized that I would lose him forever.

FOREVER》

That was out goal, we wanted to be together, FOREVER.

But destiny didn't comply with our dreams and neither did "they".

- "What will we do?" - those were the numb words that came out of my mouth. After all, the end was near.
I looked at him, at his dark eyes. He had lost his color, like an old movie. The world was like an old movie: no feelings, no colors.

- "Nothing" - he answered. He had lost all hope after that terrible day.

He looked at me and kissed me, but that kiss was different. It wasn't a kiss of love, and we knew it. It was a goodbye kiss. A one last time moment.

I began to cry. Sadly, the moment was here but... why? Why had those people who where supposed to save other people's lives done this?
"For the good of the planet, to stop overpopulation" they reasoned.

Blood began to spurt out of his mouth, and I saw him, suffocating slowly like that time on the bed. But this time he didn't wake up.

He never woke up again.
