Title: Grappling with the Deepest Mystery
Original (or) Fandom: I Am A Strange Loop – Douglas Hofstadter
Rating: G
Notes: Inspired by the chapter by the same name about measuring a personal loss against a philosophical position.

You died. Quite suddenly. Young. I fell into pieces when you died.

I say that my memory of you keeps you alive, intellectual and philosophical games to parse the nature of what we are, but can I believe it? Your touch – not just the memory of your touch, brought out in looping images for me to savor. Your smile … What do I really know?

No. You and I are one and your core is in me, still alive.

I don’t know what we are, but I know with you dead and separate, six feet underground, you are truly gone.
