why i'm not where you are
"I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can't tell fast enough, the ears that aren't big enough, the eyes that can't take in all of the change, I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone. I sit on the side with a coffee and write in my daybook, I examine the flight schedules that I've already memorised. I observe, I write, I try not to remember, being here fills my heart with so much joy, even if the joy isn't mine and at the end of the day I fill the suitcase with old news."
