“I did not realize what a gift I had been given until it was too late, forever too late. Must life always be that way?”

“I couldn't dream of a future, I couldn't reliably remember my past.”

“Like billiard balls colliding our courses were altered.”

“You’re facing it now, and it’s never too late.”

“Sometimes we are given exactly what we need. The precise people that you need the most come stumbling into your life. Sometimes you don't notice, and this is very sad. Sometimes you lose them again. This is sad too, but not as sad. Because what you have once had together you have forever.”

“But it wasn't just the distance. It was what had happened to me since these days, those endless, quiet days when I thought my life would always continue in that way. When my life consisted of small, certain pieces of a larger, but basically simple, puzzle.When I was certain that I always knew where each piece fit.”

“Do what, Kim? Lead a normal life? Too late. Way too late.”
