“Estaba muerto hasta que me encontraste, aunque respiraba. Estaba ciego, aunque podía ver. Y entonces llegaste tú… y estaba despierto. (Zsadist, Amante despierto)”

Habrían pasado por encima de él para tenerla.”

Son hermosas a la luz de la luna, pero más concretamente, se trata de una transformación imposible. El verde de la primavera y el verano son sólo una sombra de la identidad auténtica de los árboles, y todo ese color cuando las noches se vuelven frías es un milagro cada vez que pasa.

Así que digo… Autumn.”

Mi muerte va a ser que tú sigas sin mí hasta que no puedas recordar el color de mis ojos o qué tan largo era mi cabello.”

"I did not."
