some people...

some poeople come into our lives and quickly go. some people move our souls to dance. they awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdon. some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. they stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same.

- flavia weedn

yes, i now feel that it was then on that evening of sweet dreams- that the very first dawn of human love burst upon the icy night of my spirit. since that period i have never seen nor heard your name without a shiver half of delight, half of anxiety. for years your name never passed my lips, while my soul drank in, with a delirious thirst, all that was uttered in my presence respecting you.
