A little more time?

"Half-an-hour more", you are told.

You walk in.

Half-an hour for this wonderful person to leave the world we mortals live in. Half-an-hour is all you've got with them and express whatever you have to, if you have to.

What are you supposed to say? Do you have to?

Say the moments when their presence really mattered to you? That would be a lot.

Wish them good? When you both know it would not be the case.

Talk about the future? Which would be in their absence.

Ask about their expectations from you? To make them even more worried.

Just look calmly? And let them read every expression on your face?

Keep looking at your watch? It would keep coming nearer anyway.

Maybe, these are all possible in an ideal world. When you could control everything. Then again, you wouldn't have needed this count-down at all. Maybe, maybe...

But still, don't you wish you had that option?
