I won’t survive long, so
Don’t tell me then that I didn’t say how much I love you, because you never tried to feel.
Don’t blame me for not being honest, because I was transparent, and you were behind the rainbow.
Don’t go crazy searching for a good moment of ours, because we had many, none of which you valued.
Don’t say that I didn’t value your feelings, because
I tried so hard while you played with mine.
Don’t ask what I feel for you, because you will never understand.
Don’t ask for forgiveness, because I always did.
Don’t shed tears at my last rites because I wished to see tears of joy with open eyes.
I won’t survive long enough to hold you tight
And whisper these because you are reading them now.
