“Hands that never touch. Lips that never meet. The Almost Lovers, never to be.”
“You can’t herd the stars. You can only gaze at them, never touch, like love. Yes, you can ‘be’ in love and ‘fall’ in love, but you can never ‘touch’ love. You can only touch things that represent love, like a lover, or a book, or a lover’s book, or lovers in a book.”
“Lovers may never meet again, but the ways of enemies oft do intersect: This proves some corollary about gravity.”
“Soul meets soul on lovers lips.”
“When soul meets soul on lovers' lips.”
“Here, when I say I never want to be without you,somewhere else I am sayingI never want to be without you again. And when I touch youin each of the places we meet,in all of the lives we are, it's with hands that are dyingand resurrected.When I don't touch you it's a mistake in any life,in each place and forever”
