Journal entry for March 13

My heart is breaking again

I'm in the room with her, she is still breathing

Rapid, shallow breaths

 

She's been asleep for more than 12 hours

Lying on her side

"You know I love you," her final words

And I know she means it this time

Oh, honey, you know you'll always be 

In my heart forever

I'll never get over you -- that's OK

These scars are the relics I treasure

 

Looking through photos on the computer

The slideshow is going along

Things I had photographed -- cows were her favorite

Horses, green fields and barns

 

She liked it when I would take pictures 

Of places I had gone

It took her places, I took her with me

In my head when I traveled along

Oh, honey, you know you'll always be 

In my heart forever

I'll never get over you -- that's OK

These scars are the relics I treasure

 

I know I'm not saying all of the things 

I intended when I started this

I wanted to say how meaningful is

This unbearable meaninglessness

Oh, honey, you'll always be in my heart 

I'll never get over you

I'll take you with me, always asking

What would Boopie do?
