I shant forget
the first glimpse of your form. Illuminated as it was by flashes of sunlight. I have dreamt nightly of your face and walked the landscape of my life with the rhythms of your writing ringing in my ears. I shall never forget our shining progress towards one another. Never have I felt such a concentration of my entire being. I cannot let you burn me up. Nor can I resist you. No mere human can stand in a fire and not be consumed. And I took your hand. Mine rested in yours
with trust and belief. With love, F.Y. |
... 21 years ago, they began a relationship that was to last longer than 20 years.
