Butterfly

Hatch little butterfly, flourish, grow and glisten,
Don't hide,
Show yourself,
So fly away, beautiful butterfly,
Spread your pressed wings, take to the sky,
Leave me behind. Like you promised...

I haven't seen him yet.
I'm too scared to, I can't, and I WON'T

"Why is Sam not here? Is she busy? I want to talk to her."

I'm afraid that he won't be the same.
The Colonel's seen him.
Jonas and Teal'c too.
But they're not afraid, that he wont be the same man that he left as.
Caring, beautiful, pure. Genuine and thoughtful...selfless and shining...
What if he's been hardened by everything?
I can't do it.
I won't.
The Colonel said that he misses me.
I miss him too.

"No Daniel. She's not busy." His reply was simple, calm, and expressionless.

I wish I could talk to him just once, laugh with him, sit with him and share our fascination at
Teal'c and how he's changed so much.
But I can't.
I'm afraid to.
My chest hurts, it hurts when I breathe,
The pain that he left me with,
I can't drown out the pain; it won't stop me from hurting,
I miss him so very much...

"It's because I never came to her, isn't it? I didn't want her to hurt. I knew that she missed me."

It's like I've woken in the middle of a nightmare, closed doors, bolted windows.
No way through. No way out.
I am separated, fragmented, cut in two.
Because of the fear.

He tapped the infirmary bed. "We all missed you Daniel."

Because of the shuddering realisation.

"Where is she, I need to see her."

The hot ash cutting through ice.

"She's dead, Daniel."

I'm dead.

"She died, on Abydos."

I'm dead.

"Oh God."

I can't reach them, touch them, talk to them...
Any of them.
They said that I was a butterfly...
What did they mean?

Is this how Daniel felt?

Like it?
Feed me anyways...
