I am a memory house for those I have lost, those I no longer know.

I wanted to walk faster, to run, far as possible from her, from my entire life, from the first day I ever saw her always just a few steps ahead.

My loves have always been seared with this singing, this singing written by death, the way some lands have always been crippled by war.

You cannot change what has already happened. You can always change the way you respond.
