Alasdair GrayOne day you will tell me how to change what I cannot yet describe without my words swelling HUGE, vowels vanishing, tears washing ink away.
About This Quote
You are my soul, my breath. You are the only one who will ever be able to see me for what I truly am in all my glory, without you my heart is shattered. I have never felt so incomplete in all of my life. I have wanted to write poetry in my spare time but when I put pen to paper the words flow out uncontrollably and it is impossible for me to describe my feelings without them turning into a giant poem instead. When you come home from work at the end of the day, I will tell you how much I love you in a way that cannot be broken down by words.
