and as the tears flow for you, you dream about something.

that day you didn't know it, but your sibling came to see you again; wondering, and probably earlier than everyone,
losing.

but right above you now is the land you sometimes wondered about.
smiles and things you could not fully understand made its way as the curtains of those tired orbs started to hide them along with their vanishing light.

"it's okay," he last said; to which you reacted in a way that he could barely understand.
in the end, he's only assuming that you're going to be okay; even
now—

after everything has come to this, he's probably still muttering the same thing in his head.
a way to see things in softer spectrum, or splashes of paint made for temporary comfort. you couldn't tell.

it was after the wind made its way out
and never came back
that they gave you the last look they could; wondering, and probably preceded by your dearest sibling,—one whom they are now worried about—
losing.

his father had been very kind. his mother had been very kind. his neighbor had been very kind. everyone had been very kind.
he wondered if you felt it, too.

the last time he looked at you, he was glad to see how the glow in yourself seems to showcase itself through the slow movement of your chest; and he sighed in relief, somehow sure that the faint lantern will either stay or shine brighter.
but even if the glow eventually diminishes, you still look the same
and you still mean the same.
sad as can be, at least that's something he's glad about.

he ripped one of the fallen leaves and put it beside your neck;
you still slept soundlessly as the land you once looked down to become your new sky
—a warm and welcoming one, he hoped—
and he smiled.

even until now, he couldn't be sure of what you're dreaming about yesterday
and he also couldn't be sure of what you're dreaming about today.

he sometimes wondered if you dream about your life, your sibling and your parents, the ones who were kind enough to share some love to you; but, as it says, he can only wonder as your dream stretches further.
wondering can be very dangerous; but at this matter, he decided to give that saying no thought.

"it's okay," he last said.
and he hoped—as sad as it can be—you would believe it.

and as the tears flow for you, you dream about something
—you dream of flying

somewhere

nice.
