“The things he made me feel had opened a floodgate, and the damned thing wouldn't close.”
“So the floodgates open, but nothing comes out. I’m feeling no relief in my head, just doubt. But my heart keeps telling me, 'hold your ground. You’ll never learn a thing if you bail out now.”
“That man made me feel things I never imagined could be felt. He made me want things I wasn't sure I could have. He made me need things I didn't know existed.”
“...the great floodgates of the wonder-world swung open...”
“He was actually interested in things I had to say, something I'd never experienced before and made me feel extraordinarily special.”
“It was as though in these last minutes together--when they had so much to say--they could say nothing of the least significance, for fear it open the floodgates.”
