If you zoom close-if you get really close to someone, if you really get close to yourself-then you lose the other person, you lose yourself entirely. You get so close you can't see anything anymore.

I can take everything on her face at face value, and that's valuable in a friend.

It's as if when you love someone, they become your reason.

I can't pretend to know what love is. It just is.

To get something you must give something away. To hold something you must give something away. To love something you must give something away.
