It’s been a while
I haven’t seen your face
I have thought of you in many moments
I have read your texts like a death sentence
I have seen presents I could have bought you
I have wanted to call so that you can bail me out of things
I have passed by the restaurants we planned to dine at
I have prayed prayers that were meant for you
But you have become so far out of reach

Then I remembered, this is all in my head
You are dead and I am still alive
So I live on with a hope for another life
And to the rest of the world, here is my proof of life.
