"August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time."
-Sylvia plath
The loneliest thing is no one drew stars around my scars.....
-Jodi Picoult, Nineteen Minutes (Platinum Fiction Series)
You don't like the bitterness of coffee until you are with the person with whom you have spent eternities together in the past, so the realization hits that it's the only pathway to your memories of childhood.
So you sip the bitterness calmly in hope of turning back time and meeting the daffodils you once grew together in your garden of innocence.....

This for all the broken friendships we couldn't save
This for all the words we didn't say cause we were afraid they will not understand
This for all the promises which were not meant to fulfil
This for all the more than friends less than lovers
So who's gonna meet me behind the mall this August?
-J. L. Carr, from A Month in the Country
-Christina Rossetti, from "Echo", The Complete Poems
