were you having fun? i tried everyday to keep your gummy smile plastered on your thin pink lips. i bandaged up your wounds and kissed the white gauze that covered your pale skin.
every night you curled up in my arms as we slept. i could hear your sobs and felt the hot wet tears that soaked into my t-shirt, but somehow i ignored it, i tried to tell myself that you were getting better, if i never let you go you'll never leave me.
after a few days, we had to face reality and go back to work; back to our lives. days of never leaving the house and just soaking in each others company had come to an end. neither of us wanted it to.
i was worried. worried that in the time that you spent working at that little antique shop you would wither away. that in the time that you went to get your favorite coffee at the shop on the corner you would fade away. more importantly i was afraid.
none of this seemed to phase you and that's what scared me the most. the fact that you treated this as an everyday occurrence frightened me to know end.
but the reality was, my fears had to be faced whether i liked it or not. and I didn't.
