we went to the session again the next tuesday
where Christopher greeted us with warmth.
“hello ashton, jasey
today we will be doing something different.
let’s all take this moment
to think and to tell each other
why the person you’re talking about
should stay in this world.”
it wasn’t that much different at all
but if this did turn out to be
jasey’s last session
i wanted to make sure we’d make the most out of it.
marcus- a veteran in session at twenty-nine
and admitted for being a drug addict
looked at julia and he smiled.
“julia
i want you to stay in this world
because you are the most innocent pretty little thing
with the most beautiful heart
that i have ever known.
without you our sessions would consist of nothingness
and i would spend three hours
every tuesday sleeping.”
julia laughed and reciprocated
“marcus
i want you to keep living because;
i found that book you really like
and i’m supposed to tell you only on your birthday
but i don’t really care;
i want you to read it so don’t you worry
you don’t have to die yet.”
they took turns telling each other
why they should keep living
and it was surprisingly fun because for once
you don’t get to decide
why you’re worthy
of still staying in this God-made earth.
they didn’t say anything about me and jasey
because they probably knew
we were saving that for each other.
at last we reach me
“jasey rae
i want you to keep living and stay strong
because i still want to drink with you
i still want to sing with you
i still want to read with you
i still want to sit in that coffee shop with you
i still want to watch old movies with you
i still want to eat cold oatmeal in bed
when it’s raining with you
i still want to kiss you
i still want to hold you
and i still want to tell you i love you.”
the whole group is silent
and a tear slides down my cheek.
jasey cried too and she looked at me.
“i still want you to live
because you probably won’t like
to join me where i’m going.”
