There was a time Jeff and Helen loved each other and touched each other's hands and ate breakfast in cafes together and secretly fucked in public, the way people in like do. Then came a time they made each other crazy and beat their hands on steering wheels and tore up love letters and photographs and said goodbye. Amy Guth
About This Quote

This is a story about two people who loved each other deeply and who were able to do things together in the past, but who could no longer do things together in the present. "There Was A Time" depicts the fact that there was a time when two people were very happy together, but that time has passed. The passage of time has caused them to be no longer able to act in certain ways. They are no longer able to touch each other's hands or share breakfast in cafes, or secretly fuck in public, etc., because they are no longer able to act under the same circumstances.
