“Be happy and well and forget me fast.”

“She’s beautiful—broken and battered, still the most beautiful woman in the world to me—the only woman in the world for me.”

“She told me once that when she was with me she felt like the beautiful woman she never thought she'd be. I can't imagine what could ever make her think she wasn't beautiful enough to anyone, least of all me. She's the beautiful one. The most beautiful one in the world to me.”

“You don’t owe me forever right now, but God, I hope you’ll give it to me willingly some day.”

“I whisper every word she needs to hear and I need to say. I tell her how beautiful she is. I tell her she amazes me. I make sure she knows she is the most precious person in the world to me. I make sure she understands what losing her means to me and how impossible it is to imagine my life without her.”

“Is the bed comfortable?” Please say no. Just give me any reason to get you in my bed.”

“I wanted nothing more than for her to feel me – my desire for her, the pleasure I could give her, my obsession for her.”
