Affecting

The world I saw
The "someone tapping me on the shoulder" world
Crumbled.
Fell
Completely
Apart
Around me.
I knew that this time,
I could never repent.
I knew that now,
It was all over for real.
And somehow
This time
I did not think of death.
I could think of nothing at all
But
Those words saying that
My existence meant something
Because
It meant that her existence meant something.
We two
Are
Mutual justifying
One another.
And so
Even now
When I know it is over for me
I cannot give up my life
Because it is not over for
Us.
