cry

time's up,

and i can't feel anything,

but your arms wrapped around me.

you told me you'd be gone

in the morning,

so why are you here?

you said this was the last,

but why do i feel like

you won't ever let me go?

your eyes are closed,

but salty tears are coming out of them.

are you sure you're asleep?

you're trying so hard not to let out a sob,

and i know,

because i know you,

more than anyone else.

your shoulders are shaking,

and i always thought

of how hard it must be for you

to keep a promise

like this.

but then, i guess,

sometimes,

we need our eyes to be washed by tears,

for us to see life more clearly.

so it's fine to cry,

once in a while.
