From the Edge (Kelley Kidd)
I wish I could help you let go. I know that on the other side of this mist, the world still looks clear. I can picture what I look like to you, from out there. I've heard the descriptions. We read them together, when we found out. We prepared for this, as much as that's even possible. We've planned the will and you've helped me write my letters, and we've said all of our forgivings and I-love-yous in every way we can possibly, and now all we do is make small talk and hold each other's hands. We have no after to plan for, and as much as we want to fill the next forever with words, we won't have much in common for much longer. That part is sort of nice though--the only thing we have left to do is be here with each other. When was the last time we only did that?
For all that preparing though, it isn't any easier. Every hospice brochure and counselor you could find, though, couldn't have made this easier. For you, at least. You hang desperately from the ends of my words as you wait for the pauses between them to end, and cringe at my breathing as it rattles in my chest.
It's easier for me. A fog separates me from the world around me. My entire existence is slowing, and my clock ticks at a different beat. As my body slows, so does my experience of it. It's like the ways the light waves refract and bend as they move through water. They are moving at a different speed and being carried away as the water rushes away from the spots the light hits. Eventually, they slow down and stop. So you can see them changing, but for all they know, they just keep shining.
I see you cringe, and know my breathing must be shaking you to your soul, but to me it just sounds like breathing. The chasms of time between my words leave you hanging on the edges, praying that something will emerge on the other side, but to me they're just more moments. Moments filled with everything--the feeling of your hand in mine, and the sensation of breathing, and all the memories that brought us here, and the fear of what's next, and whatever my next word is. All of those things take up the same amount of space in that moment, and I know to you that makes them last forever.
And soon, I think, every moment will be forever. But maybe forever will have every moment in it, too. So I think I'll see you soon.
