We have unfinished business
You, Me, and the Universe.
There is something we
are meant to do together.

Some reason that the reaper
stayed his hand.
Protected us from blade and pills.
Some reason we did not move on
into that great beyond
even though we groped in the darkness
looking for the sweet kiss of death.

The reaper did not want us
because the Universe is not through with us yet.
We have something to attend to,
something that caused Charon
to refuse us voyage.

We have some grand role left to play
As lovers
As friends
As something.
The reaper does not want us
just yet.
