Never End

Even a sigh can startle her now.

"Did you do anything to improve the situation?"
"I was too selfish to."
"Do not blame yourself. It is not your fault."
"Doctor, do you know the phrase 'amor fati'? I understand it, accept it and therefore learn that suffering is part of my life. Sometimes when my heart aches, sometimes when the other me sobs, I am reminded of the two latin words. It's my fate."
"Take a deep breath and calm down."

Another night has come. Outside the window stood a silhouette. The little boy extended his hand to her and together they flew to the rooftop. It was a cloudless night. They both stared at the clear sky but neither of them uttered a word. The boy did not say a thing because he was oblivious to the pain his friend was going through; the woman was silent because she was used to it.

"So are you ready to follow me?"
"Dear, it's the seventh time you have asked me. Maybe next year."
"I will wait for you. Remember it's the second star to the right."

Shhh...be quiet. Don't wake her up.
