She is flying.
Her arms stretch out as far as she can reach, touching the clouds.

Yes.
I know it's over.
I know that each time I see her, the subtle habits formed over time must now be swallowed in the back of my mind.
I am not looking for redemption, one last chance to prove this was a mistake. -
