Chapter six

Maybe all of us

Are born to die

But my fate is not death

My fate is feeling

And I’m not sure which is worse

At times, I wish

I was the first soul to be

To think and to become

to love

so that my love

was the strongest the universe had

ever seen

I once told you

I was going to love you

until my last breath.

And so I did

because when you told me

that you don’t love me

I thought I was dying

-tell me just one last time
