As We Know It Pt.2

 As We Know.

 In hospitals they say you know. You know when you're going to die.  Some doctors say it's a look patients get in their eyes.Some say there's a scent. The smell of death. Something. There's just some kind of sixth sense. When the great beyond is heading for you. You feel it coming.  Whatever it is. It's creepy. Because if you know. What do you do about? Forget about the fact you're scared out of your mind. If you knew this was your last day on Earth, how would you want to spend it? 

Hey. You almost died today. Yeah. I almost died today. I can't ... I can't remember our last kiss. All I could think about was I'm going to die today and I can't remember our last kiss. Which is pathetic, but the last time we were together and happy I ... want to be able to remember that. And I can't .  I can't remember.  I'm glad you didn't die today.

It was a Thursday morning. You were wearing that ratty little Dartmouth t-shirt you look so good in. The one with the hole in the back of the neck. You'd just washed your hair and you smelled like some kind of flower. I was running late for surgery. You said you were gonna see me later and you leaned to me, you put your hand on my chest and you kissed me. Soft. It was quick, kinda like a habit. You know, like we'd do it every day for the rest of our lives. You went back to reading the newspaper and I went to work. That was the last time we kissed.

Lavender. My hair smelled like lavender from my conditioner.  Lavender. Huh.

 If this was your last day on Earth, how would you wanna spend it?
