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

“...the wounds of the past and the scars of the present don't disfigure me in your eyes - because you know the price I pay for loving you ...”

“...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...”

“...you need to travel to see the ocean - I don't need the ocean - I have the sky...”

“...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...”

“...don't think love is just an emotion - I am dangerous and you know it because I will do anything you ask me to do...”

“...I lost my illusions in a black rain of bitterness - now what do you see in my eyes? How can you still love me? How can I be tender? ...”
