More From Miranda July

... he didn't know how to say good-bye. his throat ached from the strain of holding back his emotions. “i don't want to leave you,” he said humbly, reaching for her cold, stiff hands. emma lowered her head, her tears falling freely. “i'll never see you again, will i?” he shook his head. “not in this lifetime,” he said hoarsely. she pulled her hands away and wrapped her arms around his neck. he felt her wet lashes brush his cheek. “then i'll wait a hundred years,” she whispered. “or a thousand, if i must. remember that, nikki. i'll be waiting for you to come to me.
Fall Bye Hands
I looked at other couples and wondered how they could be so calm about it. they held hands as if they weren't even holding hands. when steve and i held hands, i had to keep looking down to marvel at it. there was my hand, the same hand i've always had - oh, but look! what is it holding? it's holding steve's hand! who is steve? my three-dimensional boyfriend. each day i wondered what would happen next. what happens when you stop wanting, when you are happy. i supposed i would go on being happy forever. i knew i would not mess things up by growing bored. i had done that once before.

I prayed all the way up that hill yesterday, he said softly. not for you to stay; i didna think that would be right. i prayed i'd be strong enough to send ye away. he shook his head, still gazing up the hill, a faraway look in his eyes. i said 'lord, if i've never had courage in my life before, let me have it now. let me be brave enough not to fall on my knees and beg her to stay.' he pulled his eyes away from the cottage and smiled briefly at me. hardest thing i ever did, sassenach.
Strong Fall Eye
Mr hemingway does it extremely well. nothing matters. everything happens. one wants to keep oneself loose. avoid one thing only: gettng connected up. don't get connected up. if you get held by anything, break it. don't be held. break it, and get away. don't get away with the idea of getting somewhere else. just get away, for the sake of getting away. beat it! "well, boy, i guess i'll beat it." ah, the pleasure in saying that
Boys Somewhere Else Ideas
I hear footsteps and four's hands wrap around my wrists. i let him pry my hands from my eyes. he encloses one of my hands perfectly between two of his. the warmth of his skin overwhelms the ache in my fingers from holding the bars. "you all right?" he asks, pressing our hands together. "yeah." he starts to laugh.
