“thought that you are the only person I’ve ever known whom I would allow to carve out my beating heart and flay it before my eyes. With you, life would forever be intriguing, entrancing. I want to witness the heights of your anger and the depths of your depravity. I want to linger with you in your apathy and dive with you into your passion. I want to do all those things with you, for all time. That is what I thought.”
