My friends wife had left him after 32 years. He was devasted.. We were talking and as things started sinking in he said there is no how no way I can imagine her or me starting over with someone else. I just dont see it period. I figured a ballad would be better fitting then said nah! I used his feelings to write the song. Denial!
I did help him through the whole ordeal and he was encouraging the song all the way.
