“your soul is dust to me. I will swallow you whole.”

“I will never marry you. I will never have sex with you voluntarily. And the day you touch me without permission will be the day you swallow your own testicles whole. Do you understand?”

“Don’t fuss. I love you just as you are, Mercy. I don’t need to swallow you whole, I don’t need to be in your head at all times. I just need to know that you’re there.”

“LIKE THE DUST YOU CAN BEAT ME BENEATH YOUR FEET AS U WANT, BUT SURELY LIKE THE DUST, THE HARDER YOU BEAT THE HIGHER I RISE.”

“That was the true terror of love, that you could love with your whole heart, your whole soul, and lose both”

“When you loved me I gave you the whole sun and stars to play with. I gave you eternity in a single moment, strength of the mountains in one clasp of your arms, and the volume of all the seas in one impulse of your soul.”
