Pheris’s nightmare. Probably a pretty regularly occurring one.

Thinking back, if I had known then, I would’ve hugged you tighter. Also, longer. I’ve read somewhere that we never know when we’re holding someone for the last time, so hold on tighter and tell them you love them. I thought I was one of those few who followed that. Boy, was I wrong. I wish I had stayed longer, I wish I hadn’t snapped at you and I wish I had held you tighter.

I know this distance is temporary. But as days go by, not knowing when we’ll meet again, I find myself swimming against the waves. Amidst all the what-ifs, I realised I had been too distracted to appreciate us. This realisation spreads sadness to the deepest chambers of my heart.

Cannot be seen today,

How would the universe feel,

About us noticing it,

Light years later,

How would the star feel,

To be missed,

Light years later,

How would you feel,

If I told you that many thousand years from now,

Someone will stand in the exact same spot,

That you’re standing,

Someone else will stand in the exact same spot,

That I’m standing,

And they’ll hold each other’s hand,

Just like us,
