Strangely, looking up and knowing there's nothing between me and the light that settles on my skin but a thin layer of gas and a thousand (or a million) years has helped me feel closer to everyone I would touch but can't. When there isn't a body to read, perhaps it's too easy for me to take comfort in the company of ghosts; I wonder sometimes

Why so lonely? I thought you had lots of, um, possibilities in your life.

That's the thing- I don't feel lonely; I lead a very full life even outside of romantic involvements (a lot more so than one might expect given how much I appreciate good company). I was writing here about the extent to which my life is made better by my relationships with people who I rarely see. This is a good thing, because an abundance of possibilities doesn't imply an abundance of quality- being selective, when combined with living eyes-open and unfolding life within geographic limits, has a way of bring those numbers right down. ;)

I constantly misinterpret your e-mails.
