prom queen.

When you are introduced because you cannot introduce yourself. When you’re spoken to softly to keep up appearances. When you keep staring at your shoes, picking at the hem at the bottom of your jumper. When you want to rewind — go back, go blank — just for a minute or two, thinking she’d be …

anatomy of longing.

The fireworks should have gone off right after the clock chimed midnight, marking the new year. But they didn’t. I only managed to fire them at 1.37am instead—I had an issue accessing the fuse. Three pinkish-purplish streaks of sparkles shooting off in quick succession into a very grey but not fully black night sky over …
