extras

i think i have one more thing to say about death and spirit and all that. 
and love. 
i think it's a true and natural phenomenon of life when a couple has been married or together for a really long time, and one of them dies, and shortly after (days or weeks), the other one dies too.  it's so weird but incredible that love can potentially be that strong that they couldn't live to be apart from one another.  that makes me hopeful for the future, and i hope that i find someone whose love for me and my love for him is that strong.  
"next door there's an old man / who lived to his nineties / and one day passed away in his sleep / and his wife, she stayed / for a couple of days and passed away / i'm sorry i know that's a / strange way to tell you / that i know we belong" 
"and when you're gone / i wanna go too / like johnny and june"
passion is powerful.
