While I Was Away

You were in a car accident.

-They say true love can last forever.

You hit your head, which caused your brain to swell.

-Can span any distance, stretch across time, last beyond death.

The pressure against your skull damaged your brain.

-Which leads one to wonder …

The damage left you unresponsive to most kinds of stimuli.

-If you fall in love in your dreams,

And this unresponsive state is what's known as a coma.

Can you find that love when you wake up?
