Don't Go. Yet.

i watched a movie many years ago, about someone who's loved one died. but they never actually left them. they stayed around until they were no longer needed. they touched the one they loved on the shoulder, on the hand, and helped them through the days, and the long and lonely nights, just like you are for me. but it seems to me, that eventually, the loved one left behind, finally realized, that they were holding the person back from where they were going to go next. and that it was selfish of them to hold on.....

can i be selfish, for just a little while longer?? in some strange way, i am actually enjoying spending this time with you. or at least i am grateful you haven't completely gone yet. your presence is so strong....

so what's your hurry dear friend?? you have an eternity. spend a few more moments with me. i know you will. and i know i will see you again soon. i'm right behind you. i guess we all are....so save me a seat.
