i almost told you-- because i feel like you're leave me all over again.
i kept all our pictures.
saved all our words.
engraved all the feelings on this blog.
i almost wanted to let you read what was about you in this blog.
to let you know.
that i cared.
that i care.
it was real.
& sometimes it still is.
i’ll always care.
i’ll be waiting.
i’ll always be waiting in a way—
for when you need me.
i love you.
in a way thats truely your own.
these feelings belong to you & you alone.
you’re still near, but you still feel so far.
call my name, darling.
we still have the means.
though our history will be a blank page in the webs of this space.
the memories are real in all that i have kept & saved—
all that i cherish.
in the end the memories will still exist in some shape & form.
remember.
i will.
i do.

He reached out a gloved hand and stilled her swing. “I would remain nearer you for what time there is.”
“Gone in one faerie sigh,” she quoted.
Leather-clad fingers brushed over her short hair, rested on her cheek. “I can hold my breath.”

“ The paper was so worn from riding around in her bag that it felt as soft as cloth between her fingers, but when Luis took his, the ticket sliced shallowly over her flesh. For a moment, her skin seemed so surprised that it forgot to bleed.

“ Nothing farther then he uttered— not a feather then he fluttered—
Till I scarcely more than muttered, “Other friends have flown before—
On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown.
Then the bird said, “Nevermore.

“ You know,” Ruth said, “people don’t cry when they’re sad. Everyone thinks that, but it’s not true. People cry when they’re frustrated or overwhelmed.

“
When I was fifteen,” Miss Saeki says with a smile, “all I wanted was to go off to some other world, a place beyond anybody’s reach. A place beyond the flow of time.”
“But there’s no place like that in this world.”
“Exactly. Which is why I’m living here, in this world where things are continually damaged, where the heart is fickle, where time flows past without a break.” As if hinting at the flow of time, she’s silent for a while. “But you know,” she goes on, “when I was fifteen, I though there had to be a place like that in the world. I was sure that somewhere I’d run across that entrance that would take me to that other world.”
“Were you lonely when you were fifteen?”
“In a sense, I guess. I wasn’t alone, but I was terribly lonely. Because I knew that I would never be happier than I was then. That much I knew for sure. That’s why I wanted to go— just as I was— to some place where there was no time.”
