We don’t talk about anything special, but we’re all there, just sharing time.”
― Mieko Kawakami

“Already what I remember most is the happiness of seeing you. Having tea. Falling asleep. Waking up with you there awake in the kitchen. It was like being alive twice. I'll try to tell you better when I am stronger.”
