“I love you because I am afraid of the dark and can't sleep in the light....because you, with all your magic powers, were determined that I should love you. Because there was nothing for you but that I would love you. I love you because you made me want to love you more than I love my privacy, my freedom, my commitments, and my responsibilities. I love you because I changed my life to love you.”
― Nikki Giovanni, Love Poems & A Good Cry
