I rubbed the sleepiness in my eyes, fluttering
I opened my eyes with assurance, gazing at the dark
The shadows of the night would often
Form faces that haunt me
I glanced at the time, 2:03am
I must've woken up early again
To my right was my window,
The light barely shining through the small holes
To my left was an open door
The darkness illuminating my fears of a monster
My phone buzzed with a notification,
"I'm sorry. It hurts so much. You know how we would often talk about doing it? But you would always laugh it off..."
I stopped reading, as if my mind was deceiving me
I felt the rotten bile of my stomach arise
I wanted to take another look, just to check
But I couldn't move my eyes to read
My blurry vision caused by wet tears
As I read the last sentence,
"I'm sorry, I love you."
As if my greatest fear come true
Was losing you
I love you too,
I hope to see you soon.
