He's really gone. &lt;i&gt;Dear Gerry, you said you wanted me...&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;...to fall in love again...&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;...and maybe one day I will, but there are all kinds of love out there.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;This is my one and only life...&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;...and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing...&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;...and none of us come out of it alive.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;I don't have a plan except that it's time my mom laughed again.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;She's never seen the world.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;She's never seen Ireland, so I'm taking her back to where we started.&lt;/i&gt; &lt;i&gt;Maybe now she'll understand.&lt;/i&gt;
