- Let's go let's go together doing something extraordinary, and I started making plans, thinking we would get that far.

- I want what can't possibly happen

- Undeveloped, the whole thing, tossed into a box before we really had a chance to know what we had, and that's why we broke up

- I mean, we wanted to. I mean, he did. We both did. I wasn't sure.

- And Ialmost said Ilove you. Instead, I said nothing and you said nothing.

- ...But then you snored like nobody would pretend, I stood in the doorway watching you sleep. I waited just to see you at that kind of peace. I wanted to be beside you. I wanted you to wake up slowly or startle, or just half awaken and turnover and go back to sleep or murmur my name. I wanted to watch you forever, or sleep forever while you woke and watched me, something forever anyway. I wanted to kiss you, rumple your hair, rest three fingertips on your hipbone warm and smooth, wake you that way or hush you back to sleep. To see you naked at rest, to cover you with a blanket, there's not enough ink and paper to say all I wanted. But I couldn't stay long, so I just went back downstairs....

- By now I'm sure you are wondering, how long does it take to get to you.

- They should teach my mother, everybody's mother to leave people alone.

- I never told you that, even after telling you I love you, all those times a day, I never told you how beautiful it was then, like everyone was telling us not to be.
