If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

I began to draw an invisible boundary between myself and other people. No matter who I was dealing with. I maintained a set distance, carefully monitoring the person’s attitude so that they wouldn’t get any closer. I didn’t easily swallow what other people told me. My only passions were books and music

Sometimes when I'm with you, I remember things I lost when I was your age. Like I remember the sound of the rain and the smell of the wind.

When I write about a 15-year old, I jump, I return to the days when I was that age. It's like a time machine. I can remember everything. I can feel the wind. I can smell the air. Very actually. Very vividly.

Music brings a warm glow to my vision, thawing mind and muscle from their endless wintering.

Dreams come from the past, not from the future. Dreams shouldn't control you--you should control them.

Sex is an extremely subtle undertaking, unlike going to the department store on a Sunday to buy a thermos.
