Here at the End of it All
He said he'd call me, he never did and I guess I never stopped waiting for him. It's sad I know but I just couldn't help it. I expect people to keep their promises and when they don't…well, that door just never closes does it? He was, is, my best friend, dependable, approachable, my brother. He was always apart of my life, always allowed in, I never closed that door, I never locked it in case one day he might return.
As I approach my elderly days I wonder…will I see him? Will he be waiting for me at the end of it all? He always said he'd be there and I believe he meant it. Whenever I needed someone, there was always someone there. Whenever I couldn't cope I somehow made it through. A hundred times over I would have died yet, here I am…at the end.
I don't need anyone to hold my hand. I am ready to die. Everyone else has gone ahead of me. I always was the last one, always left behind. It was up to me to catch up and now I am. With nothing left to live for and my life nearly gone why should I wait? I've been waiting my whole life. Waiting for my best friend to come back so I could continue my life. I've almost found him, I can feel it. He's just around the corner. He said he'd never leave and he never did.
It is often said that when one door closes…a window is opened. Guess what Harry? I'm finally closing the door and a New World is within reach. Don't worry, I'll be there soon. Go to the window Harry, I just have to go close the door. As the lock slides shut and I hear it click, I know we can now pick up where we left off. We have a whole life ahead of us Harry, let's go get Hermione from the library and seek a whole New World of adventure. A world that we have never known, this world is one of peace and happiness. Oh how corny that may sound but it's why I left the door open and why I've waited my life away. It was so I could live my life at the end of it all, where you always said you'd be. And here you are, lively as ever. My body slowly loses its warmth and my breath grows stale in my lungs, now I can finally live.
Death is just the beginning.
What do you think? In some ways I suspect the last line is predictable but at the same time, it is extremely profound. Please review, I like to hear what you guys think.
