You're beautiful.
I wish I didn't know your expiration date was coming
Sooner
Rather than later.
Last night in the stage lights you were breathtaking.
I saw from you a rawness I have always admired in your eyes,
But never fully glimpsed.
You hurt my heart with loveliness, my exquisite friend.
All I want for you are sunny days
And a long,
Long life.
Seeing you fall apart up there, knowing what I do,
It was agony.
"Goodbye love, hello disease"
And I crumbled.
I actually took my glasses off and openly wept for a moment,
And the man next to me looked at me strangely.
Who would guess that you are more invested in that role than you appear?
I know you love that,
The little references you can sprinkle through your life.
I know you're addicted to telling the truth through your subtleties-
If people only knew how many times you tell them!
I have one thing to ask of you,
Black haired beauty with piercing eyes of blue
And a heart of polished gold.
You are so amazing, so sweet and beautiful and complex and courageous, and so very
Alive.
I'm begging you: Don't die.
*Just

Don't

Die.
