girl: we won't see each other again.

boy: [pause] yes. we won't see each other again.

boy: we wouldn't see each other again.

girl: we wouldn't see each other again.

there must be a simpler reason to why I like Wong Kar Wai.
and i finally understood when I was listening to one of the soundtracks.

it's all about repetitive differentiated instances
moments that are repeated (regardless of space and time)
but each repetition brings a subtle difference to how the moment is felt

it's like an old radio that plays contemporary music. but involuntarily encodes signs that suggest more than the contemporarity of the songs. (it plays its static)

Quizas heard then would always be heard differently now.

it's about departures and encounters.
tag. races. journeys. more films. and great soundtracks that describe our lives.
do you have a song that just summarises everything about you and your life?

I have a few.
"Quizas"

but it's really more than the beginning and the ending of each narrative.
it is the moment. the moment in the mood.
and a reflected moment of that mood.
until u lose sight of it. it drifts away like a bubble blown.
and you see it pop.
you remember it somehow.
but it's not the same to blow another bubble.

and at that moment before departure, i was in the mood for love
but at that moment of departure, you were still in the mood for another
and at this moment of writing of that departure, I feel the gaping hole
of someone who had shared those moments together.

variations of the same theme.

Quizas.

i wish you love.
no.

you are loved.

am taking a break from writing.
