As long as you're alive...
...you can't put life on hold like you can with a game-so that's why...
...those brief respites...
...when you can forget all the bitterness and pain...
they let you take a breath...
...and calm your heart.
If you don't give yourself that kind of time...
...living on just becomes, every so often-it gets to be too painful.
