maybe goodbyes are not so much in the act but in the time. having the time to just sit on a porch and talk. with no anxiety about the next thing to do or what the morning will bring or how sleepy anyone is.

it’s not about prolonging some inevitable or saturating a moment with emotion. it’s about transitioning. moving from an energetic, daily-life-storytelling state to something less-guarded, something with room-for-silences.
