. . . death isnt anything I need to be afraid of. Im not a perfect man. But I think Im a good man. Ive lived a hell of a life, even with all the heartache. Millie told me once that the ability to devastate is what makes a song beautiful. Maybe thats what makes life beautiful too. The ability to devastate. Maybe thats how we know weve lived. How we know weve truly loved.The ability to devastate, I repeated. And my voice broke. If that wasnt a perfect description of the agony of love, I didnt know what was.
