At that moment, when my mind had returned to Earth, and the bright blue sky of Heaven had been replaced with the sight of that cylindrical wall of light, I could only stand still, as I recalled those words that Archangel Gabriel had said.
'It had been so long, yet we must part so soon.'

When I first heard of it, I didn't think of it that much, as the whole situation was pretty chaotic and all, but now that I had the time to recollect all of the things that had happened in the span of that prolonged 30 minutes... I suddenly noticed something strange in it.
Hadn't we... had just met?
And for some reason, my hand began clutching my own chest, as I started to have this feeling of intense longing out of nowhere - the aching feeling, the feeling that told me I want to stay.
In the split second later...
'Dear, why must we part so soon?'
