dear god,
today i felt good enough to walk down to the cafe
i sat at one of the tables at the back
a boy sat down across the table from me
he asked why i had a beanie covering my head, i told him i was going through chemo and decided to not scare anyone off with my bald head
he chuckled and told me i looked beautiful either way
i could feel my pale cheeks turn a shade of red
i asked him what he was at the hospital for
he said he also had cancer, but 'nothing to worry about' as he put it
i told him i was sorry
he just smiled
i had to go back to my room, so i told him if he wants to stop by some time he can
he laughed and told me this was the first time he got a girls hospital room instead of number
i looked at my feet, feeling embarrassed
he said, 'ill be there tomorrow'
i smiled as i walked away
i hope he comes tomorrow
-lily
