• We were going to spend eternity together.
    We'd already spent a lifetime together.
    We were ready.

    We took each other's hand into our own.
    Everyone saw this beautiful miracle.
    The time was closing in on us.

    We went away from the place where we had spent so much time together.
    Our lives flashed before our haunting eyes.
    We were off to a better place.


    Eternity was fun at first, but things quickly changed.
    We realized that it was changing our thoughts about each other.
    We began to want alone time-away from each other.
    Tears of sadness began to fall.

    We wanted to leave, but we couldn't.
    Now that we were here, we weren't allowed to leave.
    We soon realized that it became hard to embrace each other.
    Soon, we began fading.

    I cried ghostly tears when i saw you disappear that day.
    I disappeared, too.
    When I opened my eyes, I realized that I was home.
    There you were, smiling that same smile you had always had.

    I ran to you.
    You were solid.
    I was, too.
    Were we alive?

    It finally came time to figure the mystery out.
    Had we gotten a second chance?
    We aren't alive, you said.
    We were inside our memories.

    We loved being in our memories.
    It brought pain to me that we weren't alive.
    You realized this and embraced me.
    You held me there and comforted me.

    It's ok, babe.
    At least we're not suffering.
    Just let me hold you, and things will be fine.
    No more suffering, you said.

    No more suffering, I repeated.
    We held each other close.
    Everything was good again.
    This was to be our eternity. heart
