it seems like
it was going to be a long time
(if ever)
so
i never shared it . . .
HOWEVER, i may have a limited time
left
according to doctors
(TIME TRAVELS TOO FAST
AND I’M CAUGHT NOT KNOWING
WHAT OR HOW TO SAY THIS)
how do i share the news?
i don’t know
about
the weeks or months
i have left
i wish i told you
in the beginning
i’m not sure
when i won’t
awaken again
goodnight dear
goodnight God
