Delete

"Someone once told you that love is as much about timing as it is about who you fall in love with. But you hate timing. You've never had enough time. You run out of time with everything you love. But maybe that's just part of life. You wonder if it would be stupid or symbolic to throw away every clock you own. You decide probably just stupid.

You look at his name in your phone and try not to see his perfect face alongside it. You hover above the delete button and wonder if it would make things easier. Would you delete him from your life with one click?

You don't. You can't. Instead, you re-read text message threads and think about sending him a message. 

After holding your heart in your throat for about 20 minutes, your fingers break the silence for you. You've never really noticed how large the gaps in between them feel before. He's closed those gaps once before with his fingers, You can't remember what it felt like now."
