So we set the world on fire.

Kumiko and I felt something for each other from the beginning. It was not one of those strong, impulsive feelings that can hit two people like an electric shock when they first meet, but something quieter and gentler, like two tiny lights traveling in tandem through a vast darkness and drawing imperceptibly closer to each other as they go. As our meetings grew more frequent, I felt not so much that I had met someone new as that I had chanced upon a dear old friend.

- Haruki Murakami

I never seem to hurtle into people, I always seem to gently bob against them like toy ships in shallow bath water. It's gentle, it doesn't hurt but it brings a genuine comfort all the same.
