Somehow I knew that no matter what I chose to tell or to keep secret, he would understand.

Sooner or later everyone was driven to love someone they could never have.

If my love can hold you, I'll keep you with me.

I’ve never heard of a man being so eager to confess to the parent of a girl he’s just ruined

His kisses tapped into deep mines of memory, and the years that had separated us fell away as if they were nothing.

I thought about the future, the oceans and continents he would cross, far away from everyone who knew and loved him. Far outside the sphere of his mothers prayers. Among the women of the future, there was one who would know his secrets and bear his children, and witness the changes the years worked on him. And it wouldnt be me. -Liberty Jones

One can't help but marvel at the variety of ways that women had devised to make us look like flaming idiots.
