I was glad and confused.
You wanted me to come again. Why?
Did you feel bored staying in the hospital by yourself so that anyone was fine with you as long as you had a conversation?
If not, could I be silly and believe that you wanted me specifically?
I did not care, as long as I got to see you.
Here I am again, in front of your hospital room, knocking on the door and entering.
Your room was empty, did you leave already ?
Then why did you ask me to visit?  I felt angry.
I turned to leave and I was met with a hard surface, now looking up I see it was your chest.
I stepped back, ashamed and happy that I had found you or better said collided into you.
You greeted me warmly, saying you had taken a walk in the hospital garden.
We went into your room, talking about the weather and the hospital.
It felt great, your way of talking didn't change much, thank god.
We talked about teachers, favorite shows and novels we have always had a similair taste in things.
We didn't notice the time passing by, we laughed a lot, smiled a lot and exchanged mobile numbers.
The sky was crimson...
I got up from my chair grabbing my school bag.
You got up from your bed too, you said you will get discharged tomorrow morning and will get back to school the day after.
I said that was good news and I stood there awkwardly, looking at each other, you than hugged me lightly saying you were glad we were talking again and not awkwardly ignoring each other.
You said I made you really happy.

I smiled hugging you back wishing you woud not be able to hear my heart beating louder than the roaring thunder.
