he'd always believed
he'd die
before thirty

when he told me this
i smiled
and laughed
and looked at him
and told him he was horribly mistaken. 

"you wont die before thirty ."
i said ,
"thats only thirteen years away ."

"no ."

"you die with your memory,
and honey,
you wont die until the fucking world does ."
