He was sitting in some bright and peaceful place, and all of his life was there before him. She was there, and she was there, and she was there, and they were all there.
What are you thinking about? she asked him.
I was just thinking about how I would say goodbye.
Oh. Okay. And how would you say goodbye?
I would say goodbye like this:
Thank you. Kiitos. Mina rakastan sinua. I have always loved you. I wish I could always be with you. But I have to go.
It doesn't have to be goodbye. Can I come with you?
No, not yet. Not now. You still have so much more to give. Stay. Please stay.
Okay. All right then. I will stay. Won't you stay? Please stay.
It's my time. I have to go.
Oh. All right then. If that is the way of things.
I will miss you, my eternal friend. But just for a short time. I will see you soon. We will see each other soon.
Yes. Love you, see you soon.
