00:00Every day, they ascend this staircase.
00:10They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, but expecting
00:16different results.
00:17Call me insane, call me what you want, but the truth is, I don't know what I am.
00:26All I know is that for this brief, peaceful speck of time, I'm no longer the man I've
00:32become.
00:33Gone is the man who lost hope.
00:35I no longer feel numb, I feel, I just feel.
00:41We would sit here for hours, just talking, admiring the art, well, she would.
00:48I never quite got it, but I think I do now.
00:53I finally saw what she was seeing, if only I could, if only I could tell her, I, I can
01:02feel her, she's sitting right next to me, and that's all that matters, it's calming.
01:12Every day, like clockwork, I hear her calling out to me, I reach out a hand in the hope,
01:19in the hope that I can help, but there is nothing.
01:25That's when I know, it's time to leave.
01:30Once again, I descend into hell, my hell.
01:35The long, excruciating doormats, demise of a man once full of light.
01:42Until tomorrow, my love, I eagerly await our next appointment, where you shall reignite
01:48my withering flame for life once more.
