“Now? Why now? Why am I missing her now, Frankie? Why not then? When she was there? Why am I afraid that I’m gonna’ lose her when she’s already gone. And this fear – this fear swarms through me – floods my whole body ’til there’s nothing left. Nothing left of me. And then it turns – it turns to a fear for my whole life. Like my whole life is lost from losing her. Gone. That I’ll die like this. Lost. Just lost.”
