Flash—
It happened just like that.
Gone, that very instant,
right before my eyes.
It all moved so very fast.
We had it all,
hand in hand, joy, laughter,
when— Crash! It was gone.
All gone.
I’m sorry I offered you that drink.
One became two, two became three…
If only I could go back in time;
Now I just sit here, lifeless;
legs completely useless.
I’m tormented each day by the memories,
the white sheet on the pavement…
No! No! that can’t be you!
Why do I have to stay, alone!?
I’m so sorry. We had it all.
