If you want a girl to like you, you have to listen like a woman and love like a man.

Don't think you have to be good because you're the only one left. Be as bad as you like.

Do you want this to be a love story?

I didn't understand that when you make love, you actually do MAKE love. Stir things. Affect each other. The breath that escapes from me is dazzled. He breathes it in with a gasp.

Adam strokes my head, my face, he kisses my tears. We are blessed. Let them all go. The sound of a bird flying low across the garden. Then nothing. Nothing. A cloud passes. Nothing again. Light falls through the window, falls onto me, into me. Moments. All gathering towards this one.

Moments. All gathering towards this one.

It's as if a child with a brush and too much enthusiasm has been set free with a tin of black paint inside me.
