Ema
Seven going on eight years since he's been gone
And no word from him, none
None at all, why?

James
It's been years
Time wasted
Years
And
Years
Time
Wasted

Eric
I see it
She'll never talk about it

But I'll away ways see it
There's fear in her eyes
He was my friend too
He was my brother
. . . My
. . . Only
. . . Brother
I look at the date, oh no.
I hate this day.

Ema
It's our anniversary
I laugh while holding the bottle
Laugh, because all the pain is gone.
Laugh, because I have somebody who's good to me
God, Eric, I love you.
Laugh til I cry.
Then fix myself up
I'm going out...
I'm going
Out.

James
Happy. Anniversary. Love.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry
Please forgive me.

Eric
She kisses me on the check
Then on the lips
I don't ask anymore
Where she's headed to
She still says she's going out with friends.
Just a girls night out.
But that's only half right.

Ema

So I take a sip

Then another
And another
And so on
Drink til the end.

James
Happy. Anniversary. Love
I want to say. Once again.

Eric
She comes back
And doesn't speak
I know what's going to happen next
But I wont fight it.

Ema
I want to be happy
For Eric
He deserves so, so much more
So I love him.
We. Make. Love

James
I stop to breathe.
What am I walking towards
It's different...

Eric
She tasted like booze
But what's new?
On this day it's always been that way.
We wake up in each others arms.
Waking with her head in my shoulder
And my arms wrapped around her.

There's something different though.
No tears.
I smile and kiss her again.
No. Tears.

Ema
I don't cry as much as I did before
And I don't scream at nights
Anymore...
No more.

Four years ago, going on five
I learned to move on
With Eric
Thank you.
I
Moved
On
Thank you. Eric.
Thank you.

James
Before finding Ema
There's somebody I need to see.
I need to see her face again.
I wait. Outside. Til the time's right.
Oh Mama. I need to see you. I need to.

Eric
I watched her
Sleep
I watched her
Breathe...
And now it's like how it was
before.

Ema
Eric, he will always love me
Is a dear to me

I do love him. I do love him.
He asked me
For my hand in marriage, a year or two ago
He still waits for an answer
I'm glad he understands.

He's always loved me.
Even when I was with...
Him.
He tells me that...
I blush.
I don't deserve such a good man.

I don't

James
She opens the door, and just stands
Tears are rolling down her face.
Mama then drops the keys
"J-Jame-James" she manages to say.
I hug her so tight, I needed her now.
 I'll stay for a while, because she needs me too
I'm sorry Ema, I'll be there soon.

Eric
She asks me something
We both know the answer to.
"Of course I do, Ema.
More than the world itself."
I said honestly.

Ema
"Then lets get married."
The words escaped so fast
But the words
I didn't regret.
I gave him a smile
I meant what I said
I do.
