Story:

The day of Beth’s accident comes.
Billy waits till the last possible moment to enter the house she and Beth once shared.
Just the sight of it is enough to make her shudder. Little signs of tragedy litter the lawn. Patches of grass she pulled up in a moment of fury and sorrow. The window she broke, the car she kicked, all these little self-inflicted reminders of grief.
She crawls into bed and doesn’t sleep a wink.
At 5:23 she watches as her dead wife’s sleeping form appears before her, rosy-cheeked and full of life.
When Beth wakes up Billy tells her everything. The complete truth, and begs desperately for them not to leave. Billy desperately pleads for Beth not to leave. She begs like the world is ending.
A very concerned and confused Beth calls in sick to work.

Lyrics:

Beth, I know it sounds crazy, but I hope you'd do the same for me. Imagine a life and a half worth of information. Imagine knowing of a life changing situation. Imagine the worry, fear, and anticipation. So please forgive me if what I say scares you away, but imagine a world without you and me.

Imagine how my soul would rip apart in half. Imagine getting called at two a.m. and seeing the one you love in pieces. Ripped apart due to one fatal start. And so I'm sorry but I can't pretend or lie to save your faith in me. I have to try despite what logic is telling me, although I may forget it if I fall again.

But there's no way that I couldn't try, but I couldn't lie. Couldn't force, push, or coerce. No, I could only plead and ask, for just one day...

Do you love me enough to trust my illogic?
