And, I may regret asking this... But you said I was a part of it.
How long? How long did I stay afraid of death, how long did I fear the end? I know myself well enough to know that I no longer fear death, but I did, and I did for a long while after my own.
Did I become a part of you?
(By the way, this is fascinating to me - to talk to a ship I so long wanted to know personally, but not so much as to step foot on. I'm simply enthralled. Thank you for answering my questions, Lady Dutchman, I'm so grateful for you being here. I'll likely write about this later, if you don't mind. I like to keep a journal of what I've seen and done, so that it isn't lost to the world.)
