It HAS been an eternity, and you HAVE been immortal. The world you feared would end someday, didn't. You dug your grave and waited for me, but I never came.
You let go of Love because you feared its end. You let go of people because you were afraid you would have to watch them go someday. You spent your thoughts on everything that mattered, except what really did. And now you come full circle to find only I am here to receive you.
Are you ready to tell me what it all meant? What did you make of it? Where has it led to?
Here. Now. This is what. This is where. This is all there is. All there ever was. All there ever will be, and this is exactly what you never expected. This is exactly what you never imagined, never thought of, never calculated. This is what never had cause to exist, but it did, because you did.
Am I being to cryptic? It must be the drugs.
The weight you carried on your shoulders was only a ghost. There was no temptation. There was no pain. There was no wall. Now, look around you. As far as you can see, or you think you can see - because here you can see as far as you can think - as far as you can see there is nothing. No one. Except you, and I, and this endless void.
Now think and we - YOU - can fill this void with anything you want. There is the road to your house. There is your first tooth that fell loose at six. There is the pencil you borrowed for your final exam. There is your car, your keys, your jacket, your cell phone, your tickets, your bag, your books, your hat, your camera, your eyes, your mouth, there,there,there,there,
Is that enough? Look around. We're neck deep in all that is you.
Now tell me again.
Why are you here, and not there?
Why are you here, with me at the end, and not where you are not?
Why are you not old?
Why are you not sick?
Why are you not buried in debt, and worries?
Why are you not holding a child?
Why are you not crying?
Why are you not with her, instead of here with me?
Why are you immortal, spending an eternity, with me, at the end of a circle, instead of there, with her?
