Let us learn from longing, in the hours when distance keeps us apart. A fleeting meeting in silence, even in my mind it feels unreal. It’s not that I fear being alone, but loneliness always drowns me in memories. This muteness is suffocating. In secret, at midnight, I rehearse my breaking. In my memory, you are not easily cast away. Even harder still to betray the heart that only yesterday still longed to be your homecoming.
