It’s dark now and I am very tired. I love you, always. Time is nothing.
It's hard being left behind. (...) It's hard to be the one who stays.
Right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment.
I won't ever leave you, even though you're always leaving me.
Why is love intensified by absence?
one of the best and the most painful things about time traveling has been the opportunity to see my mother alive.
Now I wonder if it means that the future is a place, or like a place, that I could go to; that is go to in some way otherthan just getting older.
I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by abscence?

When I am out there, in time, I am inverted, changed into a desperate version of myself. I become a thief, a vagrant, an animal who runs and hides. I startle old women and amaze children. I am a trick, an illusion of the highest order, so incredible that I am actually true.
