She went back to the island that had connected them
Even though people, including her friends
Didn’t want her to go, she went anyway to stay
This time she wasn’t running away or hiding
She knew that she needed time by herself
She lost a part of herself that was a part of him
Even though she knew he would always be with her
It didn’t feel like it was enough, no one understood
She knew that he sacrificed everything for her
She wanted to believe there was a reason
She would learn in nine months time
Why she survived to birth two who looked like him
A boy and a girl, it was like history to repeat
Later he came to her as a ghost to tell her it was time
She found her babies training in defense, and
She told them it was time to get off the island
They were needed to defend the galaxy
Just as the dyad did years before
His ghostly presence stood next to them
Which made them four, ready to take on the future
The flowers she had gathered awaited on the rocky shore
