Warning: This is sad.

(And it sucks.)

Sorry.

But not really.

Also, this is in poetry format BECAUSE I CAN.

Anyway, enjoy!

Biana

"Biana," she says.

I love the way my name

Sounds on her lips.

Her next words

Shatter my heart.

"Fitz said yes!"

Fitz.

Said.

Yes.

My brother

Is now dating

The girl I love.

Try to smile.

Act happy for her.

"Congratulations!"

"Thanks."

An odd feeling

Rises up in me.

A mixture of

Jealousy

Sadness

And something else...

Cough.

I hack.

Petals fly out.

Mixed with blood.

I stare in horror.

Sophie does too.

"Hanahaki disease,"

She finally says.

"A fatal disease,

Caused by unrequited love."

"Are there-"

Cough.

More petals.

"Are there any cures?"

"The person loving you back,"

She answers.

That's not going to happen.

"There's also a surgery.

But if you get it

You lose

The ability to love."

Option one,

Requited love,

Is never going to happen.

Option two,

Death,

Doesn't sound so great.

Then I guess

I'll get the surgery.

I repeat the thought

Aloud.

"Are you sure?"

I nod.

Sophie squeezes my hand.

I wish the gesture

Sent only butterflies

Through me,
