“We were different, sure, but isn't it precisely those gaps in which love, like a weed between paving stones, blooms and thrives?”

“How sad it is to wish another person goodnight! A gentle nudge into the unknown, so much more forlorn than goodbye. Goodnight implies not just physical but spiritual departure---to sleep, the ultimate solitude. Even for those lucky enough to share beds with a loved one, the nighttime voyages of the mind remain private; we return with no souvenirs, no means to capture where and who've we've been---and few things are more futile than a retold dream. Goodnight, K. Sohail, I thought. Is there anything so lonely as it is to fall asleep?”
― Pasha Malla, Kill the Mall
