I've never known before what it feels like to want someone - not to want to hook up with them or whatever, but to want them, to want them. And now I do. So maybe I do believe in epiphanies.

I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things.

That's the thing about pain, it demands to be felt.
