Of Beginnings and Endings

Wait.

I’m not ready for this.

I don't want this.

It’s too soon.

Come back tomorrow.

Leave.

You were supposed to be here a year ago.

I gave up on you.

It’s too late.

You should’ve been here yesterday.

Stay.

I’m not done with you yet.

I thought I had more time

It’s too soon.

You’ll be back tomorrow?

Come.

I’m ready. There’s food in the fridge, and blankets on the bed.

I left space for you on the couch.

I’m ready now.

But you left yesterday.
