song eye two
The audience keeps singing, keeps making my case, and I just keep strumming until I get close enough to see her eyes. And then I start singing the chorus. Right to her. And she smiles at me, and it’s like we’re the only two people out here, the only ones who know what’s happening. Which is that this song we’re all singing together is being rewritten. It’s no longer an angry plea shouted to the void. Right here, on this stage, in front of eighty thousand people, it’s becoming something else. This is our new vow.
fate mia way
In that twisted incestuous way of fate, Mia's a part of our history, and we're among the shards of her legacy.
rain snow half
Neither sleet nor rain nor a half inch of snow will compel me to dress like a lumberjack.
beautiful way freckles
She's still beautiful. Not in an obvious Vanessa LeGrande or Byrn Shraeder kind of way. In a quiet way that's always been devastating to me.
mistress liz fickle
Obey the muse, Liz said. She's a fickle mistress.
feet fire attention
There were signs. Probably more of them than I ever caught, even after the fact. But I missed them all. Maybe because I wasn’t looking for them. I was too busy checking over my shoulder at the fire I’d just come through to pay much attention to the thousand-foot cliff looming in front of me.
letting-you-go ifs
I'll let you go. If you stay.
closure loathe
Closure. I loathe that word.
one-day anything-can-happen happens
Anything can happen in one day.
travel breathing inspiring-travel
Traveling is not something you are good at. It is something you do. Like breathing.
doors ideas people
I want to undo this. To make it right. But I have no idea how. I don't seem to know how to open up to people without getting the door slammed in my face. So I do nothing.
travel breathing inspiring-travel
Traveling isn't something you're good at. It's something you do. Like breathing.
cities paris people
As the lightness buoys me, I wonder if maybe she was right. Maybe it's not about looking hot for guys, but about feeling like a place acknowledged you, winked at you, accepted you. It's strange because, of all the people in all the cities, I'd have thought that to Parisians I'd be invisible, but apparently I'm not. Apparently in Paris, not only can I skate, but I practically qualify for the Olympics!
one-day goes-on fluid
Because if time can be fluid, then maybe something that is just one day can go on indefinitely
