Who...

written by: Lauren White

@hellolauren528

How could you know
What that moment meant to me?
How could you know
What that moment meant to you?
How could you know
What it would mean for you to leave
When you did not know yourself?
How could you predict

That ended with me?
I am the one who sees you
I am the one who makes you better
I am the one who must give you up
I am a remnant of your former self
Who will love me if not you?

It is really astounding that when you go through the book you realize that what is happening now is very similar to what has been described in graphic detail decades ago. Whether it is the fear psychosis, the measures taken to prevent the spread of the epidemic, the dedicated and tireless work of groups of individuals in taking care of the afflicted, the resistance to the imposition of stringent regulations by the authorities and lastly the realization that we have to move on but with a changed perspective and living a new life.
