My mind was getting away from reality again, and I reluctantly drew it back in. There is no getting away from reality.
David LevithanHello?” I called.
I had gotten so used to being alone, but never entirely used to it. Never used to it enough to stop wanting the alternative.
And again. I kept clicking until the photograph was demolished, until it was no more than a mosaic of gray tiles, adding up to nothing.
Nothing. Because wasn’t that how I felt that day? If you zoom close—if you really get close to someone, if you really get close to yourself—then you
lose the other person, you lose yourself entirely. You get so close you can’t see anything anymore. Your mind becomes all these abstract fragments.

There’s no way to release yourself from a memory. It ends when it wants to end, whether it’s in a flash or long after you’ve begged it to stop. What
was the next line? What did I say to you then? I probably changed the subject, and the new subject wasn’t worth remembering.
I felt like I was missing something. Missing
you more. Missing whatever was going to happen next.
Why was I thinking about this?
Oh, yes—the roses.
Something to keep.
Something gone.
transient, adj.
In school, the year was the marker. Fifth grade. Senior year of high school. Sophomore year of college. Then after, the jobs were the marker. That office, this desk. But now that school is over and I've been working at the same desk for longer than I can truly believe, I realize: You have become the marker. This is your era. And it's only if it goes on and on that I will have to look for other ways to identify the time.
