“I washolding herand she washolding me.Couldn’t seewe both weregoing down.When holding onis the only thingyou’ve got,how can you knowthis is how lovers drown?”

“Funny how even knowing it was over the hold she had on me only got harder to break.”

“How can I tell her...." His voice broke, and he had to clear his throat. "How the fuck can I explain this to her?""How can you not. She loves you.Vishous - Butch (re. Jane)(Lover Unleashed)”

“...How did this happen? It was only the other night everything was fine and the next thing I know I'm drowning. How many times can a man go down and still be alive?”

“Brent put his arm around me whispering, “I know.” I wasn’t sure if he was agreeing with the fact that we had conquered Thomas, if he knew thereal reason I had risked so much to save him, or if he understood why I was crying. I decided it didn’t matter. All that mattered was that he washolding me.”

“It happens all the time in heaven,And some dayIt will begin to happenAgain on earth -That men and women who are married,And men and men who are Lovers,And women and womenWho give each otherLight,Often will get down on their kneesAnd while so tenderly Holding their lover's hand,With tears in their eyes,Will sincerely speak, saying,'My dear,How can I be more loving to you;How can I be moreKind?”
