I have lost time the way I lose eyelashes: perpetually, unconsciously, dismissively – and I never noticed how jetlagged my innocence was until I couldn’t compensate for the loss of my childhood anymore.

***

I play hide-and-seek with goodbyes because when they find me I know I’ll have to explain why I was running away from them in the first place.

***

I want to collect moments like they’re grains of sand and put them in an hourglass on my bedside table so I never have to let them go.
