"I feel like a very small child holding a prized possession tightly against me screaming, "Mine!" I don't want to let go... but at the same time, I realize... You have to make your own ..."

"I woke up tonight and did not have you beside me. I don't always awaken like this... Why is tonight different? All the conflicts in my mind that I'm able to cast aside when you're here keep creeping ..."

"I lay down beside you last night,  but I didn't fall asleep.Usually, a contentment settles over me  and my cares and worries fade into obscurity    as I revel in the closeness of my body next to yours..."

"I trusted you with my thoughts, my feelings, the REAL ME that I've hidden from every other living soul. It's been a trust without any reservations whatsoever... ...and yet, I've doubted at the same ti..."

"What you are to yourself and me is far more important than what others see. And... What I am to myself and you may be hidden from what others view. But... As long as we both ..."

"You wouldn't let me love you,   You never let me care; I just wanted to be near you   But you wouldn't let me there. Whenever I drew close to you   I was always pushed away. I never did understand   ..."

"I find myself... in places where I never thought I'd be meeting people I never thought I'd meet; seeing things I thought I'd never see thinking things I thought I'd never think; saying thing..."

"How long will it take you to realize that, to me, you're...   ...tall enough...     The physical and inner strength you possess       makes you at least eight feet tall.   ...good-looking enough... ..."

"I want to draw you close to me, but I mustn't...   instead, I have to push you away;     sometimes, though, I can still sneak a hug. I want to give you boundaries   only slightly larger than the back..."

""Nineteen others would have said,'To hell with him!' but you're not like them." So...   I'm different, huh? I've been told that before   in all kinds of circumstances,     and I haven't figured out ..."

"There are so many things I've wanted you to hear And just as many reasons for me to make them clear. I had grown so comfortable putting you in my dreams ~ When suddenly, I shuddered with the opposite..."

"Will you back off farther than ever?   Will you grow more distant than before? Will you cease to love me...   Or will you love me more? Will you remember me sometime?   Will you be able to recall ..."

"When you left and     the door closed behind you,         it didn't lock me in. I've returned there     several times ~         just to check on it. It's still closed     ...and unlocked. Sometimes..."

"There's been a door between us     for a long time, now. Occasionally,     I've pushed it open just enough         to peek through.             Sometimes, you were waiting                 on the othe..."
