Most Beloved

I feel all the emotions.

I stagger backwards, and find the open window.

Then there’s only air. 

A sea of hopeless molecules, that will not hold me back, nor slow me down. 

It’s as if I drift through nothingness. 

So fast, yet time seems to slow down. 

If only I could turn it back. 

Once, I thought of how it would be. These final seconds of life. Realising there is nothing you can do to stop it. 

But now, when careless thoughts have become reality, I feel nothing.

I don’t even feel the brisk air on my skin. 

But, it is in that moment, that everything comes together.

You see life as it truly is. 

A gift, a journey, a chance. 

How long do I have left?

With my eyes towards the sky, I see a falling star.

And though I wish I could make that wish, there’s nothing to stop this inevitable end. 

So I close my eyes.

And ask the star, to be remembered. 

Patroclus. 

Patroclus Patroclus. 

Patroclus. 

Patroclus Patroclus Patroclus.
