Reasons Why I Loved You

reason seven

dear darling,

          you couldn't ever sing. you know that? when we were in my car and the radio came on, however, you ignored the fact that you sounded like a dying whale eating a walrus, and belted out lyrics here and there. sometimes you wouldn't even know the right lyrics, and would mumble along. 

         baby just believe there's no one else like me

         say you like me by we the kings was your favourite, and whenever you sang that line, i knew how true it was. you were original, and there wasn't anyone else like you. 

         you always said that we were born original and that we shouldn't die copies, and you were the most original girl ever. you must be happy knowing that you didn't die a copy. actually, you died in the most original way you could. by falling off your balcony. 

         how's that original, you may ask? well, no one knows whether it was a suicide attempt or accident. i however believe it was an accident. you were always against self-murder. but darling, the worst thing about it was that you didn't die on impact.

         the doctors put you in a coma, and then took you off oxygen and your time was finished. i remember your mom and dad crying, holding each other. but no one was even looking at them, since apparently they were big criers, no offence. i really liked your parents.

         everyone seemed to be looking at me, judging my response of it. i wasn't crying, but that didn't mean i wasn't hurting. i wasn't crying because i was paralyzed with shock. some real severe shock, that  i still suffer from today. my brother had been inching closer and closer to me, knowing that any second i'd burst.

         but i didn't. i just asked to see you, and when granted permission, i went to the room they'd laid you in. you were covered in a white sheet, how unoriginal, right? i knew how irritated it'd make you, knowing that you were about to die in an unoriginal way, so placed my red scarf atop of your face. then you looked totally original.

         reason seven why i loved you: you died original

          love, me
