In that moment, the dwelling place of eternity, hearts and souls became clear to me. It was as if I understood everything that had happened in the past thirteen years. And the time which was to come. And I became unbearably sad. Her warmth, her spirit… How should I treat them? Where do I bring them? That was something I did not know. That we could not be together forever after this… was a fact I clearly grasped. The vast lives we had ahead of us, the boundless amount of time that stretched out in front of us… But the anxieties which I had caught soon melted away. And after that, only her tender lips remained.
