Look Into Their Eyes and You See What They Know

Edie Britt was
Sexy
Perceptive
Strong
Beautiful
One of a kind...
And that is
how Wisteria Lane came to be
my final resting place.
My ashes were spread over grass
I had once walked on...
beneath trees that had
once given me shade...
on top of roses
I once admired...
and beside fences
I once gossiped over.
And after my friends had
finished saying good-bye,
a wind came along and took what
was left of me into the air.
As I looked down on the world,
I began to let go of it.
I let go of white picket fences
and cars in driveways,
coffee cups
and vacuum cleaners.
I let go of all those things
which seem so ordinary,
but when you put them together,
they make up a life...
A life
that really was one of a kind.
I'll tell you something
It's not hard to die
when you know you have lived,
and I did.
Oh, how I lived.
