“What draws people to be friends is that they see the same truth. They share it.”

We loved with a love that was more than love.

“Are you a fine character now? What is your cardinal point, by which one might pick you out of Heaven? Where do you place yourself in the scale of Humanity?”

“Angry, and half in love with you, and tremendously sorry, I turned away.”

“I love you. I feel as though we were never strangers, you and I, not even for a moment.”

“…and my head aches a little, and my heart a little more…”

I know I’ve met you before in another life because finding you in this one felt like coming home.

“I used to build dreams about you.”

“Come, be my love in the wet woods, come,”

“I like to see you in the morning all new and strange.”

“Yes, I was infatuated with you: I am still. No one has ever heightened such a keen capacity of physical sensation in me. I cut you out because I couldn’t stand being a passing fancy. Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams. And you weren’t having any of those.”
