Here

(After. But before.)








4:8
You fell in the motel pool one night,
When I wasn't watching close enough.
You nearly drowned, but I pulled you out.
Breathed for you till you came back to me.

8:12
Riding your bike, so proud you'd learned.
I cheered and whistled, you turned to grin.
Rode into a wall, blood on your face.
Then you picked yourself up and came back to me.

12:16
Almost took you to the hospital,
You were so damn sick and fever-flushed.
Read to you, though you didn't know me,
Till you shook it off and came back to me.

16:20
It got you good. Killed it for you,
Then screamed at you to wake the hell up.
Felt like forever. Scared me that time.
But you opened your eyes and came back to me.

20:24
Thought I'd lost you
To musty books and normality.
But I still hoped.
And you came back to me.

24:28
So you should know by now,
I don't give up on you that easy.

Come back to me, Sammy.
