Misty, The lines "Don't come close / I'm not ready" sitting alongside "Take me to who I miss" capture a tension many people feel but rarely express so openly. We can fear death and be curious about it. We can resist it and still long for reunion.

The ending feels gentle rather than frightening, transforming death from an adversary into a guide. Thank you for sharing something so vulnerable and reflective.

I'm 69 years old and most of the people I hung out with are dead. I was supposed to be but I never do what people expect me to.

Not even die...
