-Marcus Aurelius
"Papa says I need a strong man who'll keep a firm hand on me," Miriam said. "But I want a man who needs me, too. I want someone who can be tender as well as strong."
- Redeeming Love, pg255
Sound track to this book: "Last To Leave" and "Thief," by Brooke Fraser
Find it out, yell it louder. Run about the room. Everything comes out eventually...
Don't need you now, I never did. He pointed that out to me.
-------------------------
Your eyes are full, full of the future of us. The air changes as you look across at me in that wondering way.It is as if I knew you before we spoke. Do our hearts know something we don't? Conspiring, converging without giving us any say. But you sing me to sleep, talk down my walls, look through my windows as I wait, you could be the thief I give the key to. You're ruining me with secrets and gestures and looks. With sonnets and second hand books, playing the chords in me nobody knew how to play. You sing me to sleep, talk my walls, look through my windows as I wait you could be the thief I give the key to. It fits in your hand like the water in rain. It unlocks our two different selves and shows we are the same. Rather than wait 'til I put me out for the taking, you're breaking... you're breaking into my heart, and I'm letting you.
-Lindsay
