just my big excuse
but i stand committed
to a love that came before you
and the fact that i adore you
is just one of my truths

There are times—months later, years later, a decade later even—that it strikes Lottie how very odd it is to be abandoned by language, how the future demands what should have been asked in the past, how words can escape us with such ease, and we are left, then, only with the pursuit. TransAtlantic
