monday march 8

today i was saying goodbye to a friend before i entered the bus station to head back to toronto. as i walked away from her, she called out "i love you!" focused on crossing the road at the time and plagued by my usual mediocre hearing, it wasn't until a moment later that i realized exactly what she said, by which time it was too late to reciprocate. so, after purchasing my bus ticket and getting in the boarding line, i pulled out my phone and texted her: "I LOVE YOU TOO!" i'm not sure it had the same impact, or if she even recognized that i was finishing our conversation.
