We have no negatives.
It took me a while to
understand what you
were referring to. There
was no way to capture
a moment by believing
it had been securely
saved for later. We had
flashed forward in time.
All these years we
thought we were saving
everything, but we
were holding nothing.
And we didn’t even
know.
We were just distant
from ourselves, from
others. I turned around,
to let you know my
thoughts, to tell you
that I sympathised with
you. I felt unsure when
I saw your face
disappearing in the
light of the monitor.
