Description
(I)

Summer's heat clung to us like guilty secrets, so at odds with our childish delight. We never kept track of the time, but we knew that we'd been out too long when our heavy limbs were patterned with grass and freckles. I told you that freckles were sun kisses, and you said that you weren't the jealous type, but you didn't act like it, did you?

(II)

We combined good posture with slouchy clothes and found comfort in straight-backed iron chairs. We rode public buses until midnight and picked our favourite cafés based on the songs they played, thinking that music and food were equal to our ideas of love. We thought that we knew what we were looking for, and you always said that we'd know it when we found it, but you really had no idea, did you?

(III)

Forgotten homes and once-warm kitchens became our refuge; a fortress built of our own imagining. Rainy days were spent sitting on cold floors, searching for scattered memories. We rescued second-hand books and painted all four chambers of our heart apartment a different colour. You promised that you would keep me safe, but you never admitted that you were just as scared and lost as I was, did you?
