8 Home: The Lost Pages
I know you're trying really hard
to be ok with this.
It's fine. You don't
have to keep up
appearances any longer.
I know death is more
painful than you thought
it would be.
We all make misjudgements.
If you were perfect,
would I have ever
learned anything from
you?
Fight to the bitter end if
that's what your instincts are
telling you. You were always more
in touch with instincts than I
was.
Still searching, but for
what?
What secret were you put here
to reveal that you haven't yet?
Too large an agenda for such a
small body. Some of the
universe's mysteries will
stay lost to you as long
as you remain here on
planet Earth.
This time around you drink like
there was no water left on Earth.
I guess we both learned
to fight against our
own self-destruction around
the same time.
"Clean yourself up, we gotta go soon,"
