Her Death Changed my Life
when I was twelve
one of my classmates died
a long, lingering death from brain cancer
I decided I had better behave better
and live better
because now I had to live for two of us
she did not get the opportunity to grow up
so I appreciated getting to do that
marriage? only one of us was able
Every moment was appreciated a bit harder
because one died
so the other had to really live
