body breaking-down
This body is breaking down, but I am not.
self years people
Those were the people who made her something, and without them she was different. She'd held on to them and to that old self tenaciously, though. She clung to it, celebrated it, worshipped it even, instead of constructing a new grown-up life for herself. For years she'd been eating the cold crumbs left over from a great feast, living on them as though they could last her forever.
unhappy wish made
She wondered again about her inclination to wish for things that made her so deeply unhappy.
people behinds
What you leave behind is the people you loved. You leave yourself in them.
beautiful cities water
Her vision of the world under the water represented a beautiful stillness, a version of heaven. It was the lost city of Lena, her alternate universe, the life she yearned for but didn't get to have.
long-ago missing soul
She felt like parts of her soul were missing, had left her body long ago. It had happened not in Greece three months ago, but long before that. It was in Greece that she'd realized those parts had left her and were not coming back.
expression waiting serious

It was like a dream you might have after death in which lost people came back to life, your friends loved you again no matter what you had done, and your failures were unaccountably forgiven.

But I know this. We're ready to move forward again in our way. Together or apart, no matter how far apart, we live in one another. We go on together.
love-you should
You should find him because he loves you.

Someday was the thing he had, because it was a lot harder to ruin than today.
forgive-and-forget forgiving forget
We forgive and forget. At least I forgive and he forgets.
space arches looks
He just wanted to look at her and know her life was marching along under the same arch of time and space as he is.
great-love skins joints
You hold on to old experiences: injuries, injustices, and great love affairs, too. And you hold them in your joints and your organs, and wear them on your skin.
