There is the sudden. There is the eventual. And in between, there is the living.

We'd said we'd keep in touch. But touch is not something you can keep as soon as it's gone, it's gone. We should have said we'd keep in words, because they are all we can string between us--words on a telephone line, words appearing on a screen.
