Summary: This is my rather pathetic attemptic to say something to my wife, who is undergoing treatment for Breast Cancer.




I dream of you when I’m asleep
I think of you when I’m awake
And, in that place between
I become you

I feel your pain
I know your suffering
And, through it
I become you

I sit and hold your hand
I cry because it’s not me
And, as I watch the dark unfurl
I become you.
