Sad Things

Why do you write sad things, he asked. When I am here, when I love you.

Because someday, in one way or another,
you will be taken away from me,
or I,
you. 

It is inevitable. 

But please understand this;

from the moment
I met you,
I stopped writing for the past.
I no longer write for the present. When
I write sad things,
I am writing for the future.
