maybe we should wait on the flowers

Lydia is dying,
did you hear? yes, it's true.
she doesn't have long to live.
no one is sure
what it is, but it's taken its
toll on her.
i saw her at the train station
the other day.
she didn't look herself,
she smiled as best she could,
but had nothing
much to say. hello. goodbye,
that sort of thing.
it was almost like we were
never friends.
we should visit her soon,
before it's too late,
or send her flowers, or should
we just wait?
