“There is something I want-something I have come to get, and she fell deeper and deeper without knowing quite what it was, with her eyes closed.”

“i do not know what it is about you that closesand opens;only something in me understandsthe voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses”

“I pu my finger to her lips. "You have to hush a minute so that I can tell you something.""What?" she says, bites my finger.I look at her. "I love you."She gets quiet, the kind of quiet that sinks into her, softens her. "Well that works out," she finally says, her voice deeper and breathless, her eyes moist, "because I love you too." She turns, leans against my arm, and settles into me.”

“It is not desire.Instead it is something deeper. I don't want to be with himconstantly and forever. I want to be with him for the moment, and I want the moments to go on forever.”

“I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart.”

“(i do not know what it is about you that closesand opens;only something in me understandsthe voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses)nobody,not even the rain,has such small hands”
