Everything was cold.
The wind, the sun, the water, the ground. Everything was freezing. My clothes, my body, my will to live.
Everything was stuck. Everything was hot. Everything was here. And here is me.
I don't know when it started, I don't know how I didn't notice, I was there and suddenly cold.
Do you remember, dear friend, when your hugs were enough to warm me up?
Do you remember, little girl, when your presence was enough to anchor me?
Do you remember, great hero, when your words were enough to make me believe?
Do you remember, beautiful princess, that it was with your help that I trusted and persisted?
Do you remember, my space uncle, that your stories were what kept my longing at bay?
You remember, Mullet, and I hope you remember, when I needed it, when I gave up, when I cried, when I screamed, when it hurt, when it got dark, when everything turned to ice, you, dear warrior, you kept me here, you fought for me, you took me in your arms, you pushed away the fear, the pain, do you remember?
I remember. And those memories are with me, here and now, turning to ice. Becoming cold and eternal.
I will no longer see the sky. I won't see the stars anymore. I won't be with Blue or Red. I won't be anymore. I'm not.
But I remember. I remember and these memories will be my new colors.
Do you promise? Promise that when all that's left of me is the memory, you'll remember the heat and not the cold?
I promise I'm going, and that even in the cold, all I feel is the heat.
I promise.
But now everything is so cold. So hot. So dark. Everything is here. But not me. I'm not here anymore. The one here has already left me.
And in the midst of the cold, the warm breeze accompanies me. Goodbye is done.
