His heart, which aches constantly, finally overflows. He looks up and cries out, "Oh, Kathy! Can I see you tonight? Please, let it be tonight. Honey, I need you so much. Please."
Three years without her. No better. He wants no new friends, no new woman. Only his Kathy.
His beliefs would never allow him to end it himself. But sometimes...
He finally drifts off.
She wishes she could let him know that soon, very soon, they'd be together again. This time for eternity.
