Do those hormonal upsurges still distract you,
when you see my collarbone, like it
used to when I was 18?
Those days when you used to tickle under my feet
by a fallen leaf of Autumn. And remember, when
I had to forcibly close your eyes to make you wish
seeing a shooting star, but you just labeled it
as another of my childish action.
Do you sit on the last bench of high school where
you carved my name with a heart beside, using your
nail, which caused it to bleed? I visited the church,
we went to 3 months ago. I saw one bride with her
veil repeating the words of the Father.
I felt it!
Do you still worry thinking that you are 1 year
younger than me or have you
finally started valuing love over everything else?
That fish on the lake is still breathing, it is as
difficult to catch him as it was before.
Are you sobbing? The Lily garden is still laughing
after recalling, when I first told you that I like the
red Amaryllis, and you frowned hearing that name!
But the Orchids. Ahh! The Orchids are a bit sad today.
You haven't picked them up to decorate my grave.
Why? I told you that they are the ones I love.
Then why haven't you?
Tell me why?
I know it's hard how the memories are gushing as
you are standing here. But I don't like the rotten
smell of the flowers coming out of that gravestone
beside me reading "RIP beloved Anne".
So, if it is too tough for you to put the flowers over
me, put them over the coffin of that girl lying beside me!
Do you still regret that we should have born in an era
where the people aren't merely mechanical? Or have
you made peace with everything, now that I'm lying
dead like an automaton?
