I dont want you to die.

It’s not because i couldnt live without you
I just want
to have those moments
we always talked about
to have closure before you go
to remember you
with a sense of accomplishment
knowing we completed something
i can hang on to.

Im not ready
to go on my own
knowing we started something
not yet full circle

A looking glass

In your footsteps, i’d lose
myself, and we’d lead each
other to burn — forgoing what
i can be.
As it is, we dissipate
in each other’s space where time
is only an aspect. There, i fold so
many times, the origami of me crumples.
