How To Share Many Things

(the abyss inside us - lullaby)

"if the sun were to explode, 

you wouldn't even know about it 

for eight minutes 

and nothing in the world 

gives me a heavier heart 

than knowing i wouldn't be able to reach you 

before the world went dark."

I slowly got up from the stretcher I was lying on, brought my hands closer to my face, and moved my fingers. I was alive, I was completely alive. There was still hope.
