“Love? Be it man. Be it woman.
It must be a wave you want to glide in on,
give your body to it, give your laugh to it,
give, when the gravelly sand takes you,
your tears to the land. To love another is something like prayer and can't be planned, you just fall into its arms because your belief undoes your disbelief.”

“I think of you in bed, your tongue half chocolate, half ocean…”
“There are a few great souls in my life. They are not many. They are few. You are one.”
“I like you; your eyes are full of language.”
