100 Words on Love, by Frank McDevitt

It’s the little things: Chappelle’s Show, “Strange Powers” by the Magnetic Fields, Pavement. It’s the whimsical memories: you standing in the courtyard of our dorm, frolicking among the trees like the Lorax with long legs and willowy hair. These things call you to mind, but we haven’t seen each other in so long that the magnetism of your presence has faded. Your voice, your carriage, your humor. All of these things have faded in my memory, flickering like stock footage spliced through an old projector. The memories are no longer painful, but sometimes the little things still sting. Only sometimes.
