“But his body, so cold, so unrelentingly unmoving was beginning to belong back to Earth, a block of perfect marble into which, even now, I tried to press my own life, exhaling, exhaling, exhaling.

Love is complicated and difficult that way.” LoveHappinessRelationshipsDivorceUnhappiness Book:Leaving Before the Rains Come Source: Leaving Before the Rains Come
