Because your room will never be emptied and the photos will stay on the shelves and my cries at night will keep frightening our neighbours and you’ll keep hiding in the corners of my eyes, I’ll continue writing on these pieces of paper and sticking them with tape to that post with the flowers, believing you’ll find them in that space between carriageways, beside the rushing wheels and the breath-taking speeds.
