Tomoko Yamashita

“Texting and phone calls, fireworks, blends, café au lait, and music. Yesterday's television. Work and beer. The neighbor's dog, or those strange flowers, the way it smells at Maisen. Those ordinary things I talk about with you. With you... I want to talk about love with you.”

“If during this time, or some other time we were separated, I wouldn't forget you. I'd recall how many years have passed knowing you.”
