The Collector
We don't die at once. When you lose someone you love very much, you feel like part of you dies and when you give up hope at something, another part of you dies. When someone lets you down, a third part of you dies, as well. Every time a friend leaves or a dream walks away, parts of us die. At the end, Death comes, haughtily, to collect the dead parts of you and just leaves. Easy but coward!
Have a nice day!

Thank you and greetings. More lovely writing from Arwa. 'too' instead of 'as well' - just sounds a bit better! 'slip' instead of 'walk' - well dreams don't have legs, even figurative ones!

I'm sorry to everybody here but I don't believe that something of you dies because someone else died or something bad happened to you. What you mean Arwa are the daily ups and downs we all got. If someone dies, no matter how tragically it is, you have to go forward. If someone lets you done do the same to this person. God said to Moses: an Eye for an Eye, a Feet for a Feet, A Tooth for a Tooth. After doing so you will feel better. After 7 years of famine there will come 7 years of glory. Nothing inside of you dies. If you lose something, for example your happiness, you can recover it later on another day. 2 weeks ago I was in a horrible fight with God which I cannot explain here in a few words but believe me it happened. I was very down and depressive because of that. But now as I am back to him I feel good. Tomorrow is my birthday, I will get nice presents, eat in a good Chinese restaurant so what do I want more? No part of me died I just had to reconquer the happiness I lost and I'm sure you can do this too. Just give it a try. :)
