It all kept returning to me as one experience. Even when I met someone new. So I asked myself, what if you tried to say something about this? What if you faced every story at once? I feel like there's this expectation that the second you find someone else, you leave the old behind and for me there wasn't that distinct separation between a beginning and an end. For me, love was so much more encompassing than that. And I think that's true for all of us, if we're honest with ourselves. (less)

“We're all the same whoever loves.”
Meg Flores, We Died in Water

“Our love survived love.”
Meg Flores, We Died in Water

“Even now, I see his damp hair crowding at his forehead. His eyes, cerulean, the same as my mother's. Him, favoring the skin of any water to me. I remember him moving with it, and staying. That ripe light and intermittence. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever stop looking for him there.”

Meg Flores, We Died in Water

“Maybe some people are only ever meant to be missed.”
Meg Flores, We Died in Water

“But our eyes know to find each other and they do. And it reminds me of the way the ocean breaks: Blue turning blue again. Blue meeting land. Collapsing there, deeply. It reminds me of nothing else. And that means we are safe.”
Meg Flores

“Our love survived love.”
