paper cranes and paper wishes
there is a legend that says if you fold a thousand paper cranes and make a wish, it will come true.
I could fold ten thousand paper cranes and make ten tiny wishes and not one of them could cure you
I see your bones, your sunken eyes, your thinning hair
and it makes me so ******* sick that I have my health, my happiness and my life ahead of me.
you're terminally ill and I'm terminally guilty.
so although there is no hope
I will fold paper cranes and make paper wishes
because sometimes we all need something to hold onto
#love
#life
#sadness
#death
#cancer
