One Bonus Day - a poem
One bonus day I've been banging on this door of my new world for so long And when it's finally time to step through, something feels wrong If this is what I've always wanted then why is something shattering within I promise I won't fail you god, but just give me one bonus day with him Always dreamt of being emotionally independent and resilient to pain But give me the chance to tear up inside his safe hug once again I'll need him to hold me when I'm drowning in fear I promise I'll go where I need to, just give me one bonus day here I hate video calls and my voice is never sufficient to make him understand And so I'll tell him I love him looking in his eyes, caressing his hand Imagination kisses won't bring him hope amidst realities grim So before he is on his own, give me one bonus day with him His mirror always shows us together so I'm packing it along I'm taking his late-night confessions and I'm packing every song I'll pack his to
