And suddenly she is no longer there, no longer traceable. It had been coming; I always knew it, that one day she would delete her account, switch to private, ghost, and no longer be reachable. But it still makes me sad that it has now come to this.
Will she, like most people, come back? And how long will it take?Until then, I miss her. I didn’t know how much. It is terrible how one can miss a person one has never met, never spoken to on the phone. Who is she?Nora. From North America, New York, living in Montreal, the biggest Swiftie I know. I don’t even know whether she really is a she, whether all of this is true, but I strongly assume that she is who she claimed to be.
Where and how did we get in touch? On Twitter, back then still Twitter, today X. We have been writing to each other for almost three years. I took her with me on my travels, she moved with me, we named pictures, I named one picture after her. She was in my home, virtually. I was with her during her PhD, and we were very close. There were times when we wrote to each other daily. We exchanged music, laughed, cried, argued, and were there for each other. For three weeks now she has no longer been traceable, no longer contactable.And I miss her terribly. I miss reading her posts.I miss her commenting on my pictures, reaching out to me. She was always there, but it had been coming that she would leave, and now it is the sad truth. Today I read our DMs again from the beginning. It took an eternity to scroll back, and then I read it all. Everything. From January 9, 2023. She helped me through my marriage. She listened, analysed, and commented, without judging.
She accompanied me, and now? Gone.
And I am sad. I have lost a very important person.
A relationship: wired but fucking beautiful! And now it is: out of reach.
Her last words to me:
“I’m fire!”
Yes, you are, my love!
And so much more!
