Harmless ?

Your memories don't evaporate.

I don't know if that's a good thing.

My doctors say it isn't.

But I can't forget you.

Even though I don't remember your name.

Does that make sense? No, I don't think it does. Your memories have long since faded in the background of boisterous life.

No one remembers you.

Your parents have your sister to look after.

And they have their own lives to matter.

Life is going on. Time doesn't stop.

But I'm trying to stop it. I don't know how. Your memories - I treasure them. I want to live in those days forever. With our backs against the moss covered wall, I want to watch the sky fall apart once again.

And I'm doing just that.

I never knew drugs were so much fun.

Are you sad?

Don't be. I remember you. I will always remember you. Even though I'm beginning to forget my own name.

The reality is blurry. Everything is starting to fade. But I see you - there. Standing underneath the rain. Your umbrella is tilted to the side, and you're offering it to me with a smile.

"It's okay." You smile. "Those were all harmless jokes."

Do you mind?
If I take the umbrella today?

The end.
