my flawed little world. maybe a little bit of yours.
This is how it works: You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart, pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm-in-arm, you hope it don't get harmed
... But even if it does, you just do it all again.
..
is love

My sister read this book to me on a very sad day five years ago and I have loved it ever since.
