Echoes

Finally, Vicky and I loved Pink Floyd. There were so many times that we would hear one of their songs and drift off together to sleep. Her favourite was Echoes. Sometimes when I hear it now, I can't control myself anymore and I cry. But then, the song also reminds me what I lost, and that is enough for me. I will hang onto anything that reminds me of Vicky Jones, no matter how much it hurts.

I need to sleep now. I turn on Echoes on my iPod and slowly close my eyes.

"And no-one sings me lullabies.

And no-one makes me close my eyes.

And so I throw the windows wide.

And call to you across the sky."

Answer me, Vicky. Please answer me.
