I wonder what the hell is wrong with me, as I stand by her bedside, gazing down
at her.

I had all those years to tell her how I felt, to tell her how much I marveled
at every thing about her, yet I did nothing. I remember how I felt each morning
as she came down the stairs and flashed that quick smile at me. I remember the
way she'd laugh sometimes, even at the stupidest of my jokes, and how the sound
of it melted my heart.

I look at her now, and the tears threaten to fall.

This beautiful person was in my life all that time, enriching it, enriching me,
and I never said anything. I never told her how much I loved her. 

I can only wonder if she'll hear me say it now. 

I can only pray she'll forgive me for taking this long. 

"Hello, Starbuck. It's Ahab..."
