Losing touch.
________________________________________________________________
It's hard to imagine someone gone when he's been so closed to you.
Watching her, i couldn't quite feel what she felt.
"I can still remember the touch of his skin," she said. "What i fear most, is that i'll forget how his hands feel."
I listened and didn't quite know what to say. Sometimes, words just don't make sense, especially when it's an emotion so dark.
His picture laid there, behind the burning pot of incense. The monk chanted and we bowed our heads in unison, saluting him goodbye.
His face was the same as what i remembered him to be. Serious, sensible, smart.
How can something like this happen to a 34-year-old?
None of us understood. And as we each went home in our seperate ways, our tend to forget. Out of sight, out of mind.
But for her and her mother. Things aren't that simple.
The mood of the house is sombre. His pictures still stand where they once were, before that fateful day happened. His letters still come, fast and furious in the mail. Her ring still rests, on the index finger of her left hand.
I couldn't put myself in her shoes, i tried.
I thought of my man, and what i would do if this were to happen to me. Sometimes when i look at his face, i try and remember that look, that silly grin. When i read his messages, i try and think how it would be to never get a reply from the other side.
It's not a good feeling, but it ain't real.
Ever feel like something really bad is going to happen someday? As we watch the drama of other people's lives unfold, we wonder when ours will hit.
I hope that day will never come.

Travis - Flowers in the Window
There's no reason to feel bad
But there are many reasons to feel glad, sad, mad
Its just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But i am here to help you with the load.
Wow look at you now
Flowers in the window
It's such a lovely day
And i am glad that you feel the same
Cause to stand up i'm in the crowd
You're one in a million
And i love you so, so lets watch the flowers grow.
