I don’t have a disease.

You can’t catch what I have.

(I have grief.)

I have something you will have one day

And

I’m sorry that you’re too afraid to be near me,

but you can’t catch this

...not now

You’ll catch it in your own timing and when you do, I believe you may regret that you didn’t hang around me at this time.

For I’ve been shown things.

Miraculous things.

I’ve been living things you are only shown through love and grief.

And they’d probably rub off on you,

if you were here.

If you were here, you’d see

I don’t have a disease.

I have grief.

And you might actually want to catch it from me now.

This dis-ease of grief.

Catch it now, before it catches you later.

Because for sure it will catch up to you.

This not a disease dis-ease.
