Me: “You’re here.”
Him: “Yes.”
Me: “But you’re gone.”
Him: “Are you sure?”
Me: “… I lit that fire, personally. I watched the last thread burn away. Your departure was confirmed by [One That Watches].”
Him: “But I’m here with you now.”
Me: “I know. It confuses me.”
Him: “Tell me again what the Sun Bird said.”
Me: “What you said, you mean.”
Him: “No. What the Sun Bird said.”
Me: “… ‘I am. You are. We both are. We’re nothing.’”
Him: “Still you do not understand?”
Me: “Sometimes, I think I do. Right now, I don’t. You are, and you are not.”
Him: “Right now, you need me to be. So I am. One day, you won’t, and I won’t.”
Me: “I miss you.”
Him: “I know. Hey. No tears, remember? You have a lot more walking to do, and you can’t see if tears are in the way.”
Me: “Fuck. Not you, too. Everyone goes on about how I have so much time. Anyways. Heh. Right. No tears. Only laughter.”
I am. Ha-ha!
You are. Hee-hee!
We both are. Ho-ho!
We’re nothing.
I have a mighty need to go… places. But there is no such place for me. Fuck. ~headdesk~ Fuck.
