I'm still upset with my mother, though. And scared.

If you lose me, I remember her saying when I was little and we'd go to a department store, just let one of those salesladies know, and they will take you to where I can find you. Even though I'm seventeen, I guess I still thought this would always be true-- that there would always be that lost-and-found, and not the lost-and-still-lost that I am now trapped inside.

Picking them up and reading them, I felt sadness do deep that it will never really be gone. It was a sobering moment-- sobering not because I was drunk, but because I felt like I was shifting into this new state of naked clarity. It was higher state of sobriety, a painful state of sobriety, because the truth was suddenly unvarnished, making me feel unvarnished.

---like the airwaves were taking a little longer to get here, so we could live in yesterday a little longer, even if it felt wrong.

I wake up feverish, sore, uncomfortable.
Is it sickness or is it heartbreak?
I can't tell.
The thermometer says I'm normal, but I'm clearly not.

It's when you walk around the apartment in my boxers when you don't know I'm awake. And then that grin, when you do know I'm awake. You spend so much time in the morning making sure every hair is in place. But I have to tell you: I like it most like this, haphazard, sleep-strewn, disarrayed.

It's the way you say thank you like you're genuinely thankful. I have never met anyone else who does that on a regular basis.

I find it hard to look at her. I know from experience that beneath every peripheral girl
is a central truth.

Go to quote


She is so lost in her sadness that she has no idea how visible it is. I think I understand
her—for a moment, I presume to understand her—but then, from within this sadness,
she surprises me with a brief flash of determination. Bravery, even.

I only have a day to give—so why can’t it be a good
one? Why can’t it be a shared one? Why can’t I take the music of the moment and see
how long it can last?
