There is a different kind of pain in waiting for someone with your whole heart, only to realize love was never meant to be possession.
Sometimes the purest form of loving someone is learning how to open your hands and let them go, even after every part of you begged them to stay.
This was simply the fact of it the city went about its ancient business with the complete indifference of something that has been here for millennia and has watched empires rise and fall and has continued being itself through all of it, and the release of one man from custody in a city several hours away registered nowhere in its rhythms.
