I will always remember it.
You gripped my shoulders and held me close
and though I could smell that alcohol on your breath, I knew this was it, this was the moment, and I took a breath as you did as well.
And you told me to live.
Told me to live
and love
- and now. today. -
because time is precious
and this last year
will pass so much faster than I think it will.
And like that, every fear and regret
flashed into your eyes
and I felt every worry and yearning I've ever felt in turn.
Every crossroad, every opportunity, every choice.
You made me promise.
And as if I hadn't been planning on living this year to the fullest,
I shook my head and loved you in your eyes
and promised.
