Time Quote by R.A. Hakok
““But when I close my eyes and try to picture her face there’s no coherent image, only a hazy montage of feelings, moments, gestures, like fragments of a dream that’s already fading. I play them over in my head anyway, so I don’t lose what’s left of her, and for the feeling they provide. Like stoking the embers to get the last of the warmth from a dying fire.””
