  • 6.54am
    the gentle knocking of the blinds woke me up this morning. everything is saturated in early morning shades of grays and blues, and the side of my face is swollen and tender from the infection that never quite leaves. listening to the cool air move the trees outside and the almost ethereal sound of the windchimes. inside, my blinds knock against the windows - it reminds me of being on a boat, as if the entire world is swaying gently to lull me into peace. further inside, it's me that's being moved.
    slowly and quietly, i made coffee, my computer mute and logging on. there's barely enough light to see the keyboard now, and the single candle i have lit doesn't help. touch typing isn't my strong point, but that's ok - i wanted to share this with you. because i love you and because i know that you'd understand more than anyone else.
    so this is what it must be like to be the only person left on earth.
