“Down in lovely muck I’ve lain,Happy till I woke again.”
“Would I trade that in, give it away for the hunt? I stumble down the stairs of a subway. No. I couldn’t trade it in again. Not now that I know what it is to be loved. Not now that I’ve stepped out of the cave and into the sun.”
“I’ve broken the worst promise I’ve ever made to myself, to never fall in love again.”
“I was so happy every morning when I woke up that I was pissing smiley faces.”
“I woke with a start. At first I assumed I’d trumped myself awake again .”
“I’ve been happy alone and I’ve been unhappy without you. I never wanted to depend on anyone, or to let myself care so much I could be made unhappy. But I depend on you and I love you.”
