If you go to thinking take your heart with you. If you go to love, take your head with you. Love is empty without thinking, thinking hollow without love

I just want some time, Mikhail, to think things through. It's frightening, the way I am about you. I think about you every minute; I want to touch you, just to know I can, to feel you beneath my...

And maybe that was love. Being so vulnerable and allowing someone else in so far they could hurt you, but they also give you everything.
