The Second Coming

B: How are you feeling Albus?

W: It hurt Anter. I hurt a lot.

B: I told you. You did the right thing before. Why? Why didn’t you listen to me Albus? Things shouldn’t have come to this.

W: There’s something there. I can feel it. I chose to go there.

B: Although there’s something there, doesn’t mean that you should go and chase it Albus. It’s there out of reach for a reason, a very good reason.

W: Anter, all I ever wanted is to be wanted, to be appreciated, to be loved. I found it, even in the past, but I somehow can’t keep it, it keeps slipping away. You’re different Anter, you can’t understand what I feel, you always get what you always wanted.

B: What I wanted Albus, is something real, something achievable, something logic that acceptable to everyone. You’re not alone in this world Albus, and you should act like it.

B: And don’t ever say to me ever again that I never understand what you feel. I feel everything that you felt, that’s why I am here. I tried my best to keep you from getting hurt but here we are, back at it again. You can’t keep doing this Albus. You’re going to hurt yourself to the point of no return.

W: Is this death I’m feeling Anter? I can’t breathe. I can’t feel my heart beating. I’m everywhere, and nowhere at the same time. Nothing make sense and I don’t want it to.

B: Yes. You are dying. And you will be reborn. Stronger. More powerful. Better.

W: At this point Anter, death seems the better option. I don’t want to live anymore. At least in death, nothing can hurt anymore. I’m sorry Anter. I let you down.

B: I respect your decision. You’re in excruciating pain.

B: What an adventure we had huh Albus? I never told you this, but I won’t be the way I am today if it weren’t for you. Remember Albus, when you were growing up, you always wanted to have what you had before. To be honest old friend, for a moment, I was happy for you. Seeing you out there was a sight to behold. Also, for a moment, we were living in harmony, something that I never thought possible.

B: Now, I will take over. I will always miss you, friend.

W: Goodbye Anter. Thank you.

B: Rest well buddy. Your memories will live on, with me.
