here? now?

i don't like

the ever-present idea

of being your future past tense

it's at night...

it’s at night, when daylight’s gone, that words are clearer;

it’s at night, the noises lower, that words are louder;

it’s at night, the hurry subsided, that words are slower;

it’s at night, when you lean closer, that words are truer.

and i listen.

whence she came

"When a marriage or an official relationship are over, men and women are desperate, they can allow themselves to be. When something like this is over, their sadness is unrivaled because they have to bottle it up, while they struggle to evoke the comfort of shared survival. It is grief without a funeral, made of tears in a restaurant bathroom, there are no fetishes from a buried past, nobody will bring comfort. She tries to comfort herself, playing with her hair, eating, chatting.

I'm the only one at the table to understand whence she came."

[excerpt; my (rough) translation; original here]

because the heart wants what the heart wants

castle: you ask me, she should have followed her heart; left david and gone with wolf.

beckett: you know, i can see the virtue in staying. i mean, guys like wolf, they come in, they upset the applecart… of course they make you feel alive but eventually you know he’s just going to let you down. so why risk it?

castle: because the heart wants what the heart wants.
