* it was like when you make a move in chess and just as you take your finger off the piece, you see the mistake you've made, and there's this panic because you don't know yet the scale of disaster you've left yourself open to . . .
. . . i keep thinking about this river somewhere, with the water moving really fast. ( and these two people in the water, trying to hold onto each other, holding on as hard as they can, ) but in the end it's just too much. the current's too strong, they've got to let go, drift apart. that's how it is with us. it's a shame, but in the end we can't stay together forever.
