She was still there inside me now, just as she always was: a life put on hold, a memory I didn’t know how to handle.

Good Insomnia Long Night
Even when I try to stir myself up, I just get irritated because I can’t make anything come out. And in the middle of the night I lie here thinking about all this. If I don’t get back on track somehow, I’m dead, that’s the sense I get. There isn’t a single strong emotion inside me.

Ignorant People Way
I held the feeling in my heart; the urge to discuss it died out. There was all the time in the world. In the endless repetition of other nights, other mornings, this moment, too, might become a dream.

Dream Heart Morning
It occurred to me that if I were a ghost, this ambiance was what I’d miss most: the ordinary, day-to-day bustle of the living. Ghosts long, I’m sure, for the stupidest, most unremarkable things.

Days Long Missing Ordinary
I spent most of my time thinking, because I didn’t have enough energy to do anything else.
