Imagine Being 16 And Being So Sure You’re Going To Die Like You’re Closing Your Eyes To Fall Asleep

Imagine being 16 and being so sure you’re going to die like you’re closing your eyes to fall asleep forever in the child death arena you’re in and when you open them next the most beautiful girl you’ve ever seen who you’ve been head over heels for since you were like seven at least and she’s talking so sweetly to you that maybe the birds have stopped singing to listen to her now too, and she is kissing your face and she is feeding you warm soup and she is so good at acting like she loves you that you realize that the first time you’ve been treated this gently and handled this preciously is here in this cave with this beautiful girl in the child death arena and you think to yourself that you have to keep fighting off death itself if only it keeps that sweet smile on her face.
