Thank you for stopping it
22 hours after it started

I started to suspect
At the 5th hour

But I knew by the 19th

It was so short lived
But it had been a month
Since I wanted it to start
In the first place

But thank you
Because i think one cry is enough

I think this time
I'll only have to cry once
In order to feel okay again

-the cry is going to last as long as we did
