Holding onto them for safekeeping

You told me that you’d find me in the afterlife no matter what. I laughed and said, “I’d haunt you forever, anyways”.

But isn’t that what we’re already doing? Reaching for the pieces of each other that are slipping away- holding onto them for safekeeping. Pretending like nothing changed. And maybe some parts didn’t. Maybe some parts stood still. Maybe some parts moved on to some sort of afterlife.

But I don’t think I’d ever have to find you because you’re already a part of me. The important pieces are infinite in some sort of way.

Until then, we are playing our parts just like everyone else. -AMT ©️
