My dear friend,
you were always one step ahead
and this time I wish you weren’t.
Are you cold?
Are you okay?
I’ve never met a mind as beautiful as yours -
so radical and soft.
You were wise and playful
and you always had a plan.
I also had a plan for us:
to be as thick as thieves
and to never forget about the other;
Consider that achieved.
Sometimes I compute my thoughts of you
for the amount to be just right,
so you can visit me when I dream.
Last night you took me to a mountain top.
We sat on the crest, side by side
and I was scared of falling.
I did not look into your eyes
but rather closely at them.
I knew I had to look for life
and you held very still.
Do you remember the last time that we met?
We spoke about the past and a future
that felt so real and so close.
You truly filled a space with sun
and sometimes all feels lost.
There is no moment left with you.
Dusk is falling.
Once you said you were inspired by the impossible;
and that is what this future is.
But when I sleep and when I dream
I tirelessly conquer this.
It’s all still there.
You are there.
