...I won't be gone. I saw the planets born but what seems a few days ago as I have seen the stars born before them in the vast, centrifugal, whirlpools of energy we call galaxies. And I'll see them break apart and return to their energy constituents in what seems just a few days hence, like so many others I have watched be reabsorbed into the cosmic maelstrom of the material universe.

What's more, I'll see billions, nay trillions, souls upon this single world flicker to life, grow in intensity and, yea, many of these, their light, will continue to grow long after earth and our cherished solar system are but memories, shadows of atomic configurations that have long since served their purpose and completed their cycles.

With time and what seems like infinite effort, you too may behold similar and far greater vistas in your future.

Till then...
