“I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.” ~~Anais Nin”

“Reasons"
I wish I knew why he left. What his reason were. Why he changed his mind.
For all these years, I have turned it over in my head—all the possibilites—yet none of them make any sense.
And then I think, perhaps it was beacause he never loved me. But that makes the least sense of all.”

“I choose to love you in silence, for in silence I find no rejection.
I choose to love you in loneliness, for in loneliness no one owns you but me.
I choose to adore you from a distance, for distance will shield me from pain.
I chose to kiss you in the wind, for the wind is gentler than my lips.
I choose to hold you in my dreams, for in my dreams you have no end.”
