//something vague//

If only you had woken up, just for a minute. If only you had been able to talk to us, see us, consciously be with us for that small fraction of time. A minute to say what you needed to before you died. A minute to cry with us, laugh with us, kiss us back, share the joy of your presence one last time. A minute to explain what happened, what had actually induced this coma. A minute for us to scold you for your recent unhealthy choices. A minute for us to try to tell you all the things we appreciate, love and admire about you. A minute for nostalgia, to reminisce on the happier times. If only you had woken up.
