Hark back to the time when we reclined against the seats of your car, facing each other? I inquired quite a few things through my eyes and to my surprise, yiur gaze had arrested all of them and I got all my replies when I had inspected the curve of your lips. I never wanted to look away, but I had to...
The next moment when I yelled at you to press the brakes, I couldn't let you escape my notice. I saw your forehead slamming into the car staring. My eyes couldn't absorb the scene that was going on in front of me. Your head and nose were bleeding. You busted a gut to peer at me, but you were knocked unconscious. I panicked.
The crowd was all around us, and they were taking you in the ambulance. I couldn't leave you alone, so I was there with you when you sweared to not wake up again. Because I was sure you were gonna be wrong, again.
You were in the emergency ward when the doctor told the person who took you to the hospital that you're out of danger. I finally heard myself breathe again. But the doctor's next line took it away from me, like for real.
He pointed to a stretcher on which a body was at rest completely under the white sheet. Someone removed the sheet and a bloodied face peeked. It was me. It was goddamn me. I totally forgot myself. I didn't even check up on me when I was dying, you know, because you were all for me that mattered.
See? I proved you wrong. Indeed, you were gonna see the world again, but with a slight change. The world, without me. Be careful, there won't be me on the passenger seat next time.
"You're okay. I can rest now".
