#bye

I mean, it's impossible to fake anything if you've already seen the other person in a way they'd never choose for you to. You can't go back from that. ↗

#goodbye

All I ever did to that apartment was hang fifty yards of yellow theatrical silk across the bedroom windows, because I had some idea that the gold light would make me feel better, but I did not bother to weight the curtains correctly and all that summer the long panels of transparent golden silk would blow out the windows and get tangled and drenched in afternoon thunderstorms. That was the year, my twenty-eighth, when I was discovering that not all of the promises would be kept, that some things are in fact irrevocable and that it had counted after all, every evasion and ever procrastination, every word, all of it. ↗

But all the love in the world won't save a sinking ship. You have to either bail or jump overboard. ↗
