“...I don't want security - to be self-assured - I want to risk my heart in making your portrait and be paid the wages of your devotion...”

“...I didn't want you flawless - I have a bare wall at home that's flawless - I wanted your character trapped in the amber of your skin...”

“...you merely look at me and I want to confess, but don't - I've buried my heart under the floor boards, but you always dig it up...”

“...I know I misplace my glasses - the one's I don't need - you roll your eyes - but I don't misplace my love ...”

“...when someone is honest and vulnerable, they wring my heart - I want to hug them for being real...”

“...there's something magical about a mask, but I have never worn one - I want you to see my pain and know how your love affects me...”

“...I don't want what other men see in you- you the you I want is invisible but it is the part of you I really love...”
