She’s gone. I swear to god I’m not suicidal. Of course I’m sad; she’s gone. But I’m not interested in dying. But at the same time I can’t even summon the energy to blink. To stand up. Barely even to breathe. She’s gone. And I’m still here. God, why didn’t I answer the phone? I’d told her I’d be here for her, whatever she needed. Whenever she needed it. But when she called, I just let it ring. She’d call back, I thought. Maybe I’d call her later. Later. Oh. Honey! You’re back! You just went to the store? Whew.
