"the worst is all the lovely weather. i'm sad. it's not raining. the coffee isn't even bitter"
Sometimes you meet people whose lives are such a grand story that there is no way you'd ever be able to participate in all of it. If you're lucky you get to be in it for moments, days, a year. There seem to be an infinite number of days.
Until suddenly there aren't enough. Even though you're states away and haven't seen that someone great in a couple of years it still hurts your heart. You realize through a terrible moment that memories have no sense of time. Friendship has no sense of distance. You've been included in a grand story that now has a new beginning. If there's karaoke in Heaven, I'm sure you're singing away!
