Never.
Such a definite word, so completely vast and sealed.
How does one even deal with that slow fade into never alone?
Certainly, at first, there seems to be a natural instinct to fight:
to push away or cling close.

But it’s the learned acceptance,
the sad beauty of perspective,
and the inspiring curiosity
of new things to come,

and we see how much sense it makes
to let never simply find its place where it may,
and let go.
