She wants to tell you
it’s okay, this dying;

she wishes an end
to your crying,
wants to send your tears
to fill the sea.

She knows it’s an image
keeping eyes salty-wet:
her body’s last breath
leaving.

She’d erase those last days,
replace them with worthy ones -
wax-sealed, yellow-flower pressed,
love’s book.

...
If she could, she’d erase
those last days from you,
saving the good memories
into a book of her love.

She wants to tell you
it’s okay, this dying.
...

If you're listening,
this is exactly what they say
Corinne...

I am happy when you call me
friend...
I am happier...
when I see your words...

Thanks Tanya!

Sunshine - you are so sweet, and I'll always call you friend, thank you!

Walt, thanks guy, luv 'ya too!

Ed, thank you, you know, I'll admit that I didn't think of that while writing this, I'm afraid it was selfishly composed, to overcome my own guilt of watching a sick friend die.

QjQ - thanks!

Core
