Speaking of the Charlie/Claire thing, there's a song by
Vacancy that totally reminds me of their situation (and has a special place in my heart since it was also dedicated to my cousin who died very suddenly last year.) It works most definately on both levels.
Waiting
-Waiting-
Words and Music by Kyle Dagenais
It's just a matter of time
Before the memories fade
Into the air
As I dream of better days
I want to keep you warm
When you are cold
The meaning of life
For me to hold
I want to feel again
I want to taste the beauty of it
I've been waiting for you and your smile
It's just a matter of lies
Before I forget the pain
Into your eyes -
I gave it all away
But I'm getting better
I've got to keep going for my own good
I think I'm getting better
I never thought I could
Let me feel again
I want to taste the beauty of it
I've been waiting for you and your smile
My friend, you've been gone for such a while
I've been waiting for you and your smile
I've been waiting for such a while
