Without you …
The warmest bed … cold
The richest food … stale
Happiest event … sad
I’m alone in a crowd …
But when I’m with you
Blue skies at night:
You are my umbrella in a storm
My parka in a blizzard
My refuge
My home
My Love

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
