There is no room in my body for anything but you.
William Goldman

Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
William Goldman
Image
When I left you, you were already more beautiful than anything I dared to dream. In our years apart, my imaginings did their best to improve on your perfection.
