I had the same dreams every time we slept together.
I whispered that it was another good day as I watched the sunset. It was fun. I didn’t worry about tomorrow coming because I was sure that would be fun, too.

 but it was just a dream.
You smiled sadly and told me not to. Why? Why couldn’t I? I tried asking, but you just smiled that sad smile of yours.
You said you should go.
I said I didn’t want you to. I screamed that I didn’t want you to leave me. But you didn’t listen. You embraced him, then me.
You said you loved us. You love us
 so you have to leave.
Her decision was set in stone. She was absolutely certain of it. I couldn’t stop her.
So I opened it.
I opened it. And that was the beginning of the end of this country.
I was crying
 but I still opened it.
It was something that should never be touched, no matter the circumstances. It was a path that should never be traveled. It’s something that should never, ever be opened
