"Don't." Don't say you love me. Everyone who loves me dies, one way or another.
"Don't." Don't ask me to say it back. If I don't say it, you'll keep waiting like you always have, so you won't leave me.
"Don't." Don't die, don't go. I can't do this without you.
"Don't." Don't make me wake up each morning alone. You're the only one who keeps the darkness away.
"Don't." Don't let me go back to who I was before. I've been a better person since I fell for you.
"Don't." Don't hate me. I would do anything to save you if I could.
"Don't." Don't be so still. You're alive, I know you are, but only the dead lie that still.
"Don't." Don't be so pale. You look like a ghost.
"Don't." Don't close your eyes. Already I can't recall their precise shade of blue.
"Don't." Don't forget me, or go where I can't follow. Wait for me.
"Don't." Don't let me forget you. In a thousand years, let me see you as well as I do today.
"Don't." Don't forget that I will love you until the day I die.
