Haunting. What if you were living in a fascist state, and you were frightened beyond belief that they would come and take away everything you love, take YOU away for the very act of remembering it. But the man you love tells you that love is enough; the memory of it means it still exists, after all. But for you, it doesn’t exist. And it isn’t enough. Those last three paragraphs are still echoing in my brain.
