it’s a revelation, to me, who has seen so much death in so little time, discomforting to the part of me that is still a teenager, that it is okay to want to stay alive.

6:59 AM

by Shane Koyczan

I’ve been told that people in the army do more by 7:00 AM than I do in an entire day,

but if I wake at 6:59 AM and turn to you to trace the outline of your lips with mine, I will have done enough and killed no one in the process.

— please remember why you loved me

Image ID: Text: okay, fine. we don’t have to talk about it then, but what about the memory from last march when you said you loved me and when we went to the tea gardens and i asked a stranger if he would take a picture of us. and what about the way i still have it in a box somewhere, collecting dust but still somewhere in that house, the one you never knew the address of but it’s a right turn here and a left turn out of our high school parking lot and i think all that you really understood was that you and i had to drive in the opposite direction. we don’t have to talk about it but what about the way you held my hand and surprised me with coffee even though i had you figured out from the get go and what about the way you laughed at my jokes even when they weren’t funny. look, we don’t have to talk about it, but don’t you think i remember that part too? don’t you think i remember more than just the goodbye? /End ID
