Angry, and half in love with her, and tremendously sorry, I turned away. Fitzgerald

I’m writing you all this from another world, a world of appearances. In a way the two worlds communicate with each other. Memory is to one what history is to the other: an impossibility.

There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won’t remember and that she can’t even let herself think about because that’s when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it’s always raining a slow and endless drizzle.

You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.

Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again.

Whenever it rains you will think of her.

Neil Gaiman

Time was passing like a hand waving from a train I wanted to be on. I hope you never think about anything as much as I think about you.

i just got home from saying good-bye to my sister, who leaves tomorrow and moves to New Zealand.  of course, i want her happy and want her to get everything out of her time there, but it don’t change the fact that my big sis is leaving the country.  that part of it, the leaving and not being with her, is just pretty crummy.  i’m only thirteen minutes into wednesday and it already sucks.
