for i see you there,
my dear.
Love so needs to love
that it will endure almost anything, even abuse,
just to flicker for a moment. But the sky's mouth is kind,
its song will never hurt you, for I
sing those words.
Here is a relationship booster
that is guaranteed to
work:
Every time your spouse or lover says something stupid
make your eyes light up as if you
just heard something
brilliant.
On a day
when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a
day.

is round and open. / Don't go back to sleep.
