I Said Nothing At All

“Hello?”
What’s going on?
“I’m so sorry”
You’re sorry?
“He’s in there right now”
No he’s not
“They’ll be out soon with more information”
I know what happened
“It seems he collapsed”
He was a grown man
“And your aunt found him on the ground”
He’s the strongest person in the world and you’re telling me he fell
“It seems his heart just stopped”
Hearts don't just stop
“The body will be released tomorrow”
Thanks, but it’s my grandfather not a body
“I’m very sorry again”
Again, why

“How are you?”
As good as you
“I called you as soon as I could”
Did you?
“Its on Monday”
I know
“And there’s a lunch afterwards”
Who can cook on a day like that?
“I’m sure your grandma will make some pies”
She always does, I hope there’s raspberry
“Do you have some dress pants to wear”
No, not anything black is grandma going to be mad that I’m not wearing black?
“Well whatever you can find”
Its brown, is brown okay?
“I’ll send you directions”
I know how to get there.
“Is your car okay to drive?”
It’ll make it.
“I’m sorry honey”
That’s what he said

“It was for the best”
Was it?
“It was his time to go”
I saw no ticking clock
“Hostility wont get you through this”
Nothing will
“He loved you”
I loved him
“I love you”
Do you?
“It happens to everyone”
I doesn’t have to. Not when it’s not time.
“It was time”
I heard no bells
“When it’s your time you’ll understand”
I hope I don't know when it’s my time.
“You will”
I don't want to feel it.
“He didn’t”
You don't know that
“I do”
He felt nothing?
“Not much of anything”
But something?
“Maybe”
What did he feel?
“It can’t be described”
Is he there?
“Yes”
