But it is a pleasure, isn’t it, on a crisp September night in Dublin to walk with long free strides along a quiet street.
“Time heals the broken. Sometimes, the healing is slow. Sometimes, it is slower. You cannot predict how long it will take before one forgets what it all felt like—heartbreak, the pain, the anguish, and that emptiness. Years could roll by, and you’d have done ten million different things to keep yourself from thinking, and yet, the mind would remember that moment when your life fell apart and crushed you whole.”

“Loving you
felt like leaving a book out in the wind
the pages turned too fast for me to read
I dient get enough time
to adore you
to explore you
to trace your lines with my fingertips
and reread my favorite parts
to live the story I knew we we meant to be
before I knew it
the book was closed
the story was over
- unfinished”

“I am not very good at taking criticism.
I know you weren't criticizing me when you decided to be with her.
But it feels like everything you give her that you couldn't give me is a statement of my faults.
I imagine you kiss lines down her body that spell out all of the reasons I am unlovable.”
