“Sometimes you need to be touched to know you're still alive.”

“When you don't know enough about life to know what you might have missed out on, your imagination plays wicked tricks on you.”

“I know how loud the seconds can sound as you stand by a window and peer out into the night.”

“looking off at the past as though it were a place one might still get to”

“Sometimes, in the dark of night, when no one else could hear him but me, he'd cry out, like he was fighting some silent little war in his head.”

“This is what keeps ghosts locked to the earth, that sweet burning need for something they loved and gave up too soon.”

“You don't jump off a bridge by mistake.”
