For just an instant,

listening to the absolute confidence in his voice,

I experienced a rare moment of insight.

I could see,

fleetingly,

the way the world looked to him.

nothing like summer to give me necessary solitude.

however, i'll be fighting it from beginning to end.

this is harder than you know.

i've never been so broken.

days like today,

i hold so close to my heart.

either move or be moved.
