Behind me was the cliff,

The place where Caelan's ashes were scattered.

I had suggested bringing him back home for burial.

But this was his final wish,

To have his ashes spread over the ocean.

Since I couldn't take you home,

Let me follow you instead.

The icy seawater chilled me to the bone, and in my daze, I could almost see you smiling at me.

Just like when I first saw you over a decade ago.
