We live and breathe words. .... It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them.

I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted--and then I realized that truly I just wanted you.
