Letter from Carol

Velda 2022-10-28 08:17:55

Just wanted to record Carol's letter echoing in my head for a long time
Dearest
There are no accidents and he would have found us one way or another .
Everything comes full circle
Be grateful it was sooner rather than later
You'll think it harsh of me to say so but no explanation I offer will satisfy you.
Please don't be angry when I tell you that you seek resolutions and explanations
because you are young
But you will understand this one day
And when it happens
I want you to imagine me there to greet you
Our lives stretched out ahead of us a perpetual sunrise
But until then
there must be no contact between us
I have much to do and you my darling even more
Please believe that I would do anything to see you happy
and so I do the only thing I can
I release you .

Carol quotes

  • Therese Belivet: Have you ever been in love with a boy?

    Richard Semco: No.

    Therese Belivet: But you've heard of it.

    Richard Semco: Of course. I mean, have I heard of people like that? Sure.

    Therese Belivet: I don't mean people like that. I just mean two people who fall in love with each other. Say, a boy and a boy. Out of the blue.

    Richard Semco: I don't know anyone like that. But I'll tell you this: there's always some reason for it, in the background.

    Therese Belivet: So you don't think it could just... happen to somebody. To anybody.

    Richard Semco: No. I don't. What are you saying? Are you in love with a girl?

    Therese Belivet: No.

  • Therese Belivet: What town is this again?

    [the morning after they first made love]

    Carol Aird: This? Waterloo.

    [laughs]

    Carol Aird: Isn't that awful?
