Already There

Suppose someone, maybe my lover, 
says “I’ll love you till I die,
meet you on the other side!”
and I say, “No,
I don’t think you will.”
For my lover, believing
that they will meet their loved ones
on the other side
may count for their
entire life.
How pedantic would it be
to say, “Well, literally,
we won’t meet.”
I'd be missing the whole point,
because my lover is declaring—
Our love is such
that we are
with one another
on the other side
already!
