From "My Life Without Me"
You have to go.
He's gonna be here any minute.
He works nearby.
lt's better if he comes and picks me up.
This happens occasionally, so...
Ann, there's something that l have
to tell you, and l have to tell you now.
l love you.
l'm in love with you...
and the world seems less terrible
because you exist.
l feel like l wanna be with you
for the rest of my life,
and all that, the palpitations,
and the nerves,
and the pain, and the happiness,
and the fear...
l wanna...
l wanna touch you all the time.
l wanna take care of you,
and your girls and...
and even find your husband
a decent job and get you a house
-that doesn't have wheels and...
-Careful.
That sounds like a classic case
of falling in love.
l am in love.
l'm classically in love.
The classic husband
who's gonna be here any minute,
and the classic depression that sets
in every time you go off with him,
and the crying
and the tears and everything.
l'll go.
Though I don't want to see you
driving off with some guy, you know?
Someone you don't know.
So, l'll be watching.
Unless of course it's your husband.

You pray that this will be
your life without you...
you pray that the girls
will love this woman
who has the same name as you,
and that your husband
will end up loving her too,
and that they can live in the house
next door, and the girls can play
doll houses in the trailer,
and barely remember their mother
who used to sleep during the day,
and take them on raft rides in bed.
You pray that they will have moments
of happiness so intense
that all of their problems
will seem insignificant in comparison.
You don't know who or what
you're praying to, but you pray.
You don't even regret the life
that you're not gonna have,
because by then
you'll be dead,
and the dead don't feel anything,
not even regret.

My darling Lee,
l guess by the time you get this tape
you'll know that l'm dead
and, well, all that...
Maybe you're angry with me,
or hurt or sad or upset
or maybe you're all of it together.
l just want you to know
that l fell in love with you.
l didn't dare tell you 'cause
l thought you kind of knew,
and l didn't realize
l had so little time.
Actually, time is the one thing
l haven't had enough of recently.
Life is so much better
than you think, my love.
l know, because
you managed to fall in love with me
even though you saw,
what was it,
you said ten per cent?.
Five maybe?
Maybe if you'd seen it all,
you wouldn't have liked me.
Or you would have liked me
in spite of everything.
l guess we'll never know.
Oh, and one last thing... Lee,
for God's sake
just paint your walls
and buy some furniture.
Alright? l don't want
the next woman you take home
to get the wrong idea about you
and run off before she gets
a chance to know you.
Not everyone's as crazy
as l am.
l loved dancing with you.
