We Need More Time

Please don’t die.
Not while
I’m still breathing.
Not while
my heart’s still beating.
We are strangers for now,
but I have hope
that someday
things will go back to
how they used to be,
back to when
things were simpler.
Whether it’s a year
or ten,
I will wait for you
because
we have so much more
to live for.
So, please stay alive
while I’m still alive.
I will not live my life
to the fullest
until I have lived my life
with you.
