dear diary

this is my forty-first week in high school and i feel the hand of death.

i act calm, but i am terribly afraid.

knowing that I can no longer run barefoot in the woods in search of strawberries.

and paint in the rain, hands coloured.

all because... I lose the fight against cancer.

dad: i'm a few minutes away!

me: are you really? all these years?

dad: i'm sorry, my dear!

me: excuses don't keep me alive, dad!

dad: i know that!

me: but... i-i... i-i love you!

dad: i love you too!
