It’s been two days now. Still no sign of any recovery. You haven’t woken up yet. I read you your favourite poem, and you didn’t wake up. I brought the alarm clock you have used for the last 6 years, it always wakes you up. But you didn’t flinch at all when it went off. Didn’t make that groan that I’d fallen in love with, every 7AM. You don’t understand how much I miss you. You don’t understand. It tears at me, tearing my limbs apart, screaming at me, I want you, I need you to say something, I need to hear you once more, will you listen to me? I started reading your poems today. I always hated them, but now I love them, every word like a beautiful bird dancing on the pages. There’s a word I’m in love with. Saudade. A feeling of longing. And I’m longing for you.
