Jace found her in the bathtub
after he got home from school one day.
She had skipped class
and he was worried about her.
When he walked into the bathroom
his hope fell
and his heart sunk.
His beautiful baby girl
was sitting
pale and close-eyed in the water.
The funeral
was on the very next Sunday.
There were only two people there.
Jace felt so depressed
that his baby was gone
that he wanted to cut.
But he didn't
for her sake.
He knew
she would have told him no.
Eventually
he found a girl
that wasn't half as pretty
or half as smart.
They had two kids,
just like she had said.
One girl named Sarah,
and a boy named Daniel.
They moved to Miami
and bought a house
next to the beach
because on that day
they had gotten ice cream
she told him
she loved the beach.
They grew old, and died
together.
But Jace never forgot his
special girl.
The one who made him
feel complete.
Before he left the funeral,
he wrote a note
and taped it to the tombstone.
