I don't like forgetting things. But I don't like being forgotten even more.

I loved that line. This was really lovely.

This is wonderful. It feels so cinematic, somehow, like it should be a voiceover while the camera pans out over some bleak landscape or something. So lyrical and melancholy and ow.

Why don't people always say, do, feel everything they ever need to at once? Why do we always think we'll have a little longer?

Love this. Love it. Thank you for sharing!

There's longing in the story, and I love it. I love the sadness that accompanies it; it's all so emotional, but beautiful at the same time.

Thank you for posting this! :)
