Oct 2020

who or whatever you were in your life, at the end, all i ever saw was how many ppl were gathered around your bedside and whether or not they were crying.
not all of them were. some were fighting w each other, some were looking at their watches, and some wanted to tell me stories about you.

more revealing than the mourners at your funeral.
