Erik's pov

I had just finished a song that I had been working on for a few days. It's hard when there are four children in the house. My girls are growing everyday. And my son is practically a man. I have a feeling he and I are going to have to have the talk soon. Oh God. Christine has been amazing. In a way I'm glad we separated for a while because I got the chance to fall in love with her all over again. I know I should have said something during Christmas time but I just couldn't. Maybe when I get back I'll ask her. Which reminds me I have to tell her that as well. Maybe the song will help?

Christine came out to me from the nursery and smiled when I was waiting for her on the piano. Ready. "Go ahead" she sees straight through me.
I took a breath as I began to play.

I once heard a said that when the spirits make a soul
They sometimes don't complete
The work that they've begun
No faith could ever take your heart from mine
But I must leave and journey far to find I give to you
How can I explain why I would
Journey far away when God has
Placed all that I love so near to me
But in stating still we only run from who we are
When we are not all of the things that we would be
All that I am I give to you...

A silence fell quickly upon us as Christine wiped away her tears.
"You are leaving me".

"Yes"
