"good morning!" as always, you came early to greet me. i felt glad that you still cared for me even though i was such a useless person.
"hi..." i replied in a whisper, my voice wasn't as strong as it used to be.
"hope you have the best day today!" you were always enthusiastic, i felt good in your presence.
"thanks..." i said still in a whisper, you gave me a bright smile and i did my best to replicate it.
then, you were gone. you still needed to do your job and after all, i was only a bitter boy in a big hospital.
my parents came that day, they feared my death more than i did, but today they cried more than ususal. hah, death was nearer than ever, I could even feel it.
they kept me entertained for the afternoon, but they still had to work for my hospital bills. i felt guilty, i wanted to help in something but i could barely walk.
you came to make me company that night because you had to stay late but there weren't much urgent cases, or so you said.
for the third time that day, i felt glad, i wasn't expecting much from a cold monday.
you said you had a present for me, told me to close my eyes; so i did.
and i felt the texture of your skin on mine, i could feel each and every breath you took, i felt your lips ghost over mine, but i kept my eyes closed.
then you did it, you finally kissed me. starting with a peck than slowly moving your lips, biting mine. of course i was scared, of course i was trembling but i couldn't back away, it was like you cast some sort of spell on me.
after the most pleasant minutes of my miserable life, you told me to sleep with the sweetest voice and i, of course, did as you said.
"goodbye lovely" i heard very faintly, moments before you turned off the machines.
his breath got slower and slower and so did mine. my dose was too strong and his parents couldn't "afford" him anymore.
so together, we say goodbye.
end.
