Long Good Night

We have only a short while longer my dearest sweetheart. Together for just little more and then I must go, taking flight for the long dawn and the long sleep that must come, a sort of hibernation, resting and drawing life from that rest. Will you miss me?

One of the popular writers of your world posed the question: Do the dead dream? Of course we do. Our difference does not preclude us from the ability to learn and know and hate and love. I know you will miss me and our times together, and they have been great times and adventures. And I promised you that I would take care of you through all our adventures, that I would whisk you away in my arms if the dangers were too much and run like dew before the morning sun or fly away with you into the night sky. You will always be safe because I am a part of you and you are a part of me.

Do you promise to dream of me just as I shall dream of you? Perhaps then we can have more adventures, just you and I. Will you speak of me and write of me to each other? Will you look into the memories of our adventures in the two worlds while you wait for me to wake? I actually look forward to the separation in a way, not because I want to be away from you but because I know that you will be just as hungry and greedy for me as I will be for you.

So one more adventure for us and then we are done for a while. You will have the fall and the winter, and how I love the seasons and you will dream of me and I will dream of you and you will wake me from even the deepest rest with your discussions of me and I hope I wake you at night with my cool kisses. I will hold you to me while you dream your sweet dreams and disappear just before dawn but you will know I was there, you will feel me like I feel you.

And I know that when the spring comes and the nights are warmer you will begin to think of me and you will be anxious for my return and before you know it, I will be back, and we will have more things to learn about our worlds. But do not forget me sweetheart, dearest, the time will pass faster than you think and we will be together again.
