I sometimes have the feeling you’ve been here a long time, more than one lifetime, and that you’ve dwelt in private places none of the rest of us has even dreamed about.
First you must have the images, then come the words.
Anyone who can feel that way about a woman is worth lovin himself.
We have both lost ourselves and created something else, something that exists only as an interlacing of the two of us.
