"I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that"

"Anyone can slay a dragon ...but try waking up every morning and loving the world all over again. That's what takes a real hero."

"I was waiting for the longest time, she said. I thought you forgot.
It is hard to forget, I said, when there is such an empty space when you are gone."

"I saw them standing there pretending to be just friends, when all the time in the world could not pry them apart."

"In the end, I think that I will like that we were sitting on the bed, talking & wondering where the time had gone."

"They came to sit & dangle their feet off the edge of the world & after awhile they forgot everything but the good & true things they would do someday."

"We sat in the car
& the night dropped
down until the
only sounds were
the crickets &
the dance of our voices
& for a moment
the world became
small enough to
roll back & forth

between us."

i hold these dear in my heart. i'm unsure why.
