Suppose he'd said, 'a trooper killed Bobby. She meant everything to me. We were to be married. When she died, a part of me died as well.' But he doesn't say that, or anything like it. And the reason he doesn't is because the author is trying to tell us something.

Maybe the author put all that into the script, and the actors flat-out refused to play the scene that way. As Harrison Ford once said, "You can type this shit, George,but you sure can't say it."
