I fought so many times the urge to throw myself off this bridge. At night, in the snow, it looked somehow haunted, perhaps even moreso than I, and I decided once and for all that the last thing that it needed was another ghost.

I thought of you the morning I took this picture, documented every step from the clubs to my house so that I could share with you our last snowstorm of the season, because I shared your sorrow at missing it long before you even knew it had passed.

The bridge rattled and shook as vehicles roared past, and the snow trickled down through the cracks and gaping holes, making the walk home seem that much more ominous.

It was just me and you and nothing between us, save for a camera and a couple thousand miles.
