MESSAGES ACROSS TIME

A dog rose means pleasure and pain. A Christmas rose is a call to relieve my anxiety. A provence rose means my heart is in flames. A bridal rose symbolizes happy love. A white rose speaks to worthy love.

"'It doesn't happen all at once,' said the Skin Horse. 'You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.'"

Stay with me now, I don't want to be lonely. I know how you feel by the way that you hold me. And, when we kiss, we don't need to close our eyes in the dark at all.

These dreams go on when I close my eyes. Every second of the night, I live another life. Every moment I'm awake, the further I'm away, the further I'm away.

Late at night, when all the world is sleeping, I stay up and think of you – and I wish on a star, that, somewhere, you are thinking of me too – 'cause I'm dreaming of you tonight, 'til tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight – and there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be than here in my room dreaming about you and me

Between his eyebrows was a deep crease, a mark of concern – for me. Concern might be a little like love.

I died a lot to live a little with you.

"Fate will find a way"    "No fate but what we make"

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you
I'm still alright to smile
...I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure
But you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now
Said, "Woman, take it slow, it'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience"
Said, "Sugar, make it slow and we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience"
I sit here on the stairs 'cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait, dear
Sometimes, I get so tense but I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
Said, "Woman, take it slow and things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience"
Said, "Sugar, take the time 'cause the lights are shinin' bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it"
We won't fake it, I'll never break it, 'cause I can't take it, a little patience
I've been walkin' the streets at night
Just tryin' to get it right
It's hard to see with so many around
You know I don't like bein' stuck in the crowd
And the streets don't change, but maybe the names
I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you

LEATHER AND LACE

We were together. I forget the rest. (It was so much fun.)

Through sunshine and rain, as seasons change, we all need somebody that makes the earth feel heavenly – maybe I'll be that somebody, 'cause you're that someone to me

Love of two is one – here, but now they're gone – came the last night of sadness, and it was clear she couldn't go on, and the door was open and the wind appeared, rhe candles blew and then disappeared, rhe curtains flew and then he appeared – come on, baby – and she had no fear, and she ran to him, rhen they started to fly, they looked backward and said goodbye, she had taken his hand, she had become like they are – come on, baby, don't fear the reaper

Get in the waves, swim in your leather, and, bless your heart, I'll make you part of my life forever... and always

It would never stop. It would never leave, it would never hurt, never shout, or get drunk and hit, or be too busy to spend time. It would always be there. And it would die to protect.

...I was so surprised to see him that I stood and stared. And then he turned round and stared at me. And he thought I was a ghost or a dream or I thought perhaps he was. And it was so [strange] being there alone together in the middle of the night and not knowing about each other.

His usual patrol. She had known. "Shall I kill him for you?" That was the position he had taken with her from the beginning: unrelenting, altruistic, too-competent service.

"He'll wade through you... and pull her heart out!"

New time was nothing but a way to determine how long he'd been gone.

I need a lover to give me the kind of love that will last always
I need somebody uplifting to take me away, babe
I want a lover who knows me, who understands how I feel inside
Someone to comfort and hold me through the long lonely nights 'til the dawn
Why don't you take me away?
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around?
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
I don't want another pretender to disillusion me one more time
Whisperin' words of forever, playin' with my mind, no no
I need someone to hold on to, the kind of love that won't fly away
I just want someone to belong to everyday of my life, always
So come and take me away
Dreamlover, come rescue me
Take me up, take me down
Take me anywhere you want to, baby, now
I need you so desperately
Won't you please come around?
'Cause I wanna share forever with you, baby
