You.

If I just had one more day.

I wouldn't be able to live with myself, knowing you'd be gone the next.

Knowing of your impending doom,

I would place myself on the sword with you.

We were supposed to stay alive together.

We were supposed to live for each other.

If you came back today,

I would scream at you.

I would ask all the questions you wouldn't want to be asked,

you shedding tears and begging for my forgiveness.

But.

I would embrace you. I wouldn't be able to get my tears to stop.

I would hold you, so close.

I would send all my love through me into you,

give you my love,

my joy,

my essence,

my very own life.

I would give it all for you to be here,

to see your smile again. To laugh with you. To talk about trees and singing and life.

To ask each other the questions no one wants to ask.

but.

If you came back for one more day,

I wouldn't be able to go on.

I couldn't live, knowing you wouldn't be here.

I had to grow so much since you left, I'm not, nor ever will, be the same.

All because of you.
