To my dearest dumbass:
The clock is ticking, my dear,
My end is ever near,
My next life on the edge
Of that faraway horizon.
The clock is ticking, my dear—
So long ago I lost you,
Time between then and now
Lengthening like a ship
Sailing away from shore.
The ache has never faded,
Only grown worse with time,
Tearing through my chest
With its terrible roots.
My dearest dumbass:
I hope we will meet
Again in the next life—
Maybe, maybe then,
We will truly
Have a chance.
My dearest dumbass:
I love you so.
