First: "What happens when you get older / is you get over it. You buy flowers / to set on the table. You say your prayers.
You learn to live alone / the way you learned to love / everything
not dead."
Second: "It ends or it doesn't. / That's what you say. That's / you you get through it. The tunnel, the night, / the pain, the love. / It ends or it doesn't. / If the sun never comes up, / you find a way to live / without it. / If they don't come back, / you sleep in the middle of the / bed, / learn how to make enough coffee / for yourself alone.
Adapt. Adjust / It ends or it doesn't. / It ends or it doesn't. / We do not perish."

Sean Thomas Dougherty, from “The Men and the Quiet”
