#6.The Time Traveller's Wife.

CLARE: It's hard being left behind. I wait for Henry, not knowing where he is, wondering if he's okay. It's hard to be the one who stays. I keep myself busy. Time goes faster that way.

I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks. I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by absence?

Long ago, men went to sea, and women waited for them, standing on the edge of the water, scanning the horizon for the tiny ship. Now I wait for Henry. He vanishes unwillingly, without warning. I wait for him. Each moment that I wait feels like a year, an eternity. Each moment is as slow and transparent as glass

I finished the book last night after chionging it for like 2 hours. Finally. It was very nice, very very nice. I could hardly put down the book after finishing it. Perhaps, you should read it too. :)

Yawns. I complete quite a bit of work down at MPL today. So glad. (: Besides, I'm feeling better too; relative to yesterday. Was it the girls, or was everything all in the mind?

There's school again tomorrow, and I guess I've got to sleep soon else I'll be darn tired tomorrow. School is always an irony; love and hate all in my head.

I cannot help not being a kopster for this quote of Katherine's is too great to be unquoted:
现在要懂得珍惜眼前人,不要因为过去而失去对自己现在而言最重要的人。

I've got a new book from the library which I forgot the title. Haha. HP? I shall read it later, much later. I want to slowly savoury the book, bit by bit. :) Good things, we always try to make them last. Good night.
