Tea stain on the table top. Water bottles along the window sill. Bread crumbs at the base of the lamp. A gold foiled chocolate wrapper in the corner of the room. You told me that the snow's melting in Beijing and I imagined what that would feel like. It must be warm.

It doesn't snow in my part of California. But it always makes me depressed when the snow starts to disappear whenever I drive up through the Sierras. It soaks up the dirt from the street and roads and becomes muddy.

Raining today. Sometimes, the sun comes out for a few minutes at a time. It's as indecisive as I am about how I feel about you. The backyard's a mess ever since you left and it's almost February now. You were here last Thanksgiving. I remember walking down our block with you that night. I miss you.

The last time we talked, we talked about "Norwegian Wood". I still have your copy here, the English version. It's still on top your dresser. I shouldn't have, but I went into your room and found it there. I don't know why I went in. Everything's the way you left it. Your bookmark is still on page 130. The first words on the page are "...long day. The room continued to glow white in the moonlight. Aside from the occasional slight creak of a bed, hardly a sound came from the bedroom...,". I'm glad you still have a room in this house that belongs to you.

"I was reading it again and I had a thought about those sex scenes you mentioned," you said on the phone, "I know why Toru slept with her." We talked about how the people in Murakami's world connect with each other sex. Or try to. Sex reveals the substance underneath their relationships and the ones who are in their memories. While we were talking, I thought about us. I've never been in your bed but I feel like you know me more than anyone. More than myself.

And I have wanted you. More than you know.

It's been raining for a week already. Last night, the storm drain above the front porch overflowed. The water came down over the wood panels and green sofa you left there. I'm worried that mold will grow soon and I will have to throw it away. I took the cushions off and hung them in the laundry room.

Ray and I worked this morning to clean it up. He brought over the ladder and I pulled out the muck and rotting leaves that was stuck there for so many months. I had never been on the roof of this house before and seeing the street, the shingles, the fence and into the bedrooms from this vantage made me feel that everything was brand new again.

I still remember when you had your fever when you first moved in. You didn't have a bed yet so I let you use mine while I slept on the floor. Your temperature was over a hundred and you kept waking up to put your forehead on the cool window. And wherever you did, you left small clear ovals among the condensation. Today's the same kind of day.
