What if I closed my eyes?
I asked.
He stood silent.
Would you just stand there?
Would you not do a thing?

What if I died?
I asked.
He refused to speak.
Would you leave me all alone?
Would you just walk away?

What if I could stand up?
I asked.
He looked at me with wide eyes.
Would you be happy?
Would you walk beside me?

Yes
He answered.
So I moved my legs toward the ground,
Testing my strength.
I had finally sat up.

Then I stood,
Standing up and facing towards him.
He grabbed my hand
And we walked beside each other.
