Months back, when trying to figure out how the epilogue would go, I had the idea for it to be broken up by song lyrics. I later got rid of that idea, because I didn't like the way it flowed and it didn't seem to fit my writing style.

But the thing is, I had already written a whole song for it.

So I'm putting it here.

I don't have music for it yet, just words, but I do want to make this into a real song someday.

Epilogue:

I call you every morning, but you don't answer the phone.

Don't know if it's denial or if I'm losing my hold.

But the moment I remember feels like months that I'm alone.

My fire's burning low and I have never felt so cold.

Why can't we have an epilogue, just a few more days together?

A time to laugh, and a time to cry, because nothing is forever.

If I knew it was coming, could I better prepare?

Tell you every last detail I have left to share?

Oh, life had been grand when we walked hand in hand.

I never properly thanked you for being there.

But I'll hold you in my heart, if I can't hold you in my eyes,

'Cause to me you were a legend, and a legend never dies.

Wonder not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee someday, someday.

But don't let your story be over, please don't let me turn the final page.

I know someday we'll all be gone, someday someone will sing this song

And think of me with a tear in their eye, because nothing is harder than goodbye.

Why can't we have an epilogue, just a few more days together?

A time to laugh, and a time to cry, because nothing is forever.

If I knew it was coming, could I better prepare?

Tell you every last detail I have left to share?

Oh, life had been grand when we walked hand in hand.

I never properly thanked you for being there.

But I'll hold you in my heart, if I can't hold you in my eyes,

'Cause to me you were a legend, and a legend never dies.

Is acceptance really out there, or is the sadness here to stay?

But maybe it's not hopeless, can we add another stage?

'Cause even though I know that things will never be okay,

I'm smiling as tears fall down my face.

Why can't we have an epilogue, just a few more days together?

A time to laugh, and a time to cry, because nothing is forever.

The remaining pages feel so bare because I know you won't be there.

But it's for you, so I'll keep reading.

No matter how hard, I won't stop breathing.

And I'll hold you in my heart 'till I can hold you in my eyes,

'Cause to me you were a legend, and a legend never dies.

Yes, to me you were a legend, and a legend never dies.
