A sense of peace

He is gone.
...Gone.
No more fights
No more crying
No more sleeping on couches or drinking alone
"I love you.
I'll always love you.

I wish it was a dream.
I keep waiting to wake up
And I don't because it's real or maybe I'm dead
Or in a coma and this is hell.
But I feel something.

Something's out there,
I can feel it. Listen, I--
I can't sprinkle your ashes over the ocean
Like you wanted.
Maybe...once I find out what's happened
I'll...
I'm sorry.
Goodbye."
