There’s a folder of pictures I can’t open. There’s so many songs that don’t sound the same. There’s a number I can’t dial and a message I can’t send.

The arrivals lounge
A plane landed and a man in a scruffy coat leaned forward and wondered if this was the one. People got off and walked into the large, gleaming white terminal, where they were either met by others (some in tears but everyone smiling) or if no one was there to greet them, they looked around, shrugged, sat down in one of the long rows of aluminum chairs and either listened to music or read a...

1a: I’ll hold your hand during the storm, if you promise to sit back and enjoy it.

You never get use to losing someone.
You never get use to the feeling of having someone torn from you. You never get use to the hole where they use to be in your heart. You never get use to the “falling” feeling you feel when you’re unexpectedly reminded of them.

The Interrogator Knows Me
Light hits the eyes the universe gave me. Time throws slow punches but they hurt all the same. You are a secret I can never give up.
