Metro Cafe Dublin
Jeanette Lowe (fishflix)

It’s a big world and a short life and who’d have guessed after three years I’d see her sitting in a café window in Dublin?

We were in love for a summer—summer and the early weeks of fall. It really was love, it really was—the intense bohemian sort of love you experience in your twenties. That staying out late and talking passionately about music and movies sort of love, the spending five dollars on food and five dollars on used books and five dollars on flowers sort of love, making lists of places we intend to visit some day sort of love. The I’m starting a new semester at NYU and you’ve got a non-refundable Eurail Pass but we’ll see each other soon and this doesn’t mean we don’t love each other sort of love.

Three years. Three long years. We were so in love. Only three years.

She’s let her hair grow.

I think that’s her.
