Even when I was there in your arms I knew it wouldn't last long, I tallied the days and although melancholy knowing that it wouldn't last, I basked in each moment wishing for time to not exist. I kept each moment like people collect snow globes or baseball cards. I collect those moments with you, and put them in a box labeled life. I slipped the rejection paper between the folds of the cardboard. I was the only one at the funeral.
