“Some books are like chewing gum. They have just enough flavour to sate you for an hour or so. Others are like gourmet meals. Meticulously crafted with complex flavours that - while exciting during consumption - leave only a vague memory behind. The best books are like old recipes, passed down through generations. They stick with you long after the last bite. You want to return to them again and again, because they become a part of who you are. I want to write those.”

“I am under you.
How could I be so wrong?
The years have not scrubbed you from my veins.
I am under you.
Though it's been too long
Since you almost kissed me in the rain.
I am under you.
Strange to ever think that I was free.
I am under you, and I hope that you're not over me.”
