I had this dream you and I were sitting in space watching the end of the universe together. It was all going down around us and we just sat in amazement at the beauty of the destruction. The beauty that in that moment nothing mattered but us. Sitting there. The last two souls in the universe, and it was where we were finally together.
“Sorry babe, there’s some things I have to say. We’ve only got a few moments left. I’m sorry for all the things I’ll never give you. I’ll never buy you another meatball sub with extra sauce. And always the big one. I’ll never make you smile. I just wanted us to be old together. Two old farts laughing at each other as our bodies fell apart. Together at the end. By that lake in your painting, that was our Heaven, see? There’s lots of things to miss. Books, maps. Kisses…and fights. Oh, God, we had some great ones. Thank you for those. Thank you for every kindness. Thank you for our children. For the first time I saw them. Thank you for being someone I was always proud to be with. For your guts, for your sweetness. For no matter how you looked, I always wanted to touch you. God you were my life. I apologise for every time I failed you. Especially this one.
Good people go to Hell because they can’t forgive themselves. I know I can’t but I can forgive you.”
“-For killing my children? And my sweet husband?”
“For being so wonderful, a guy would choose Hell over Heaven just to hang around with you.”
