The best moments come once or twice and that's it.
SLUEN wakes RLOAI at 3 a.m. to drive somewhere stupid and they end up laughing on a curb watching the sun come up — RLOAI carries that night for months.
The next weekend SLUEN is at the same kind of night with someone else, and RLOAI is at home going over the menu of where to eat alone, replaying the curb.
Texts get one-line shorter every reply.
RLOAI keeps the night close, polishes it, makes it mean more than it did.
SLUEN already moved on to the next flame.
“If RLOAI accepts SLUEN's flare burning and dying as natural, and if SLUEN stops once to see RLOAI, they can create beautiful moments. But both are stubborn.”
