With You I Will Be

“Charlie,” she said, tears on her face. “It’s time to go – away from this place. Don’t you remember, one year ago? We sat on this beach, awaiting a boat. And you told me it would not come. I was wasting my time. You told me not to bother. At the caves, there was no violent sunshine. And you bribed me with peanut butter. I didn’t think it was true. And surely enough, it wasn’t. But your plan was foolproof. I ended up at the caves, away from this very beach. I ended up away from this area where Eko used to preach. Don’t you remember him? He saved your life, your heart, many times. I’m sure you know him – next to you he lies. On his side is Ana, the girl who couldn’t love her mother. Next to her lies Libby. Next to Libby a sister and a brother. On your other side, my love, is Kate and then Jack. Locke follows after, and then Sayid, of Iraq. You weren’t the only one. Wish you could’ve known. Desmond knew all of our deaths; he says I’m the next one. But now there’s a boat, but Death isn’t easily fooled. Back on the mainland, I plan to eventually lose my soul. And with you I will be, somewhere in the light. With you I will be, find you through the dark of the night.”
