"Love, you arrive like light through a window I forgot I left open, and suddenly the dark is not dark anymore. I am only a shadow, but beside you I become a body, a pulse, a small fire that refuses to go out. Your breath against my breath is the shortest distance between two hearts, and I would cross it a thousand times. If I am the night, you are the amber hour that forgives me; if I am the silence, you are the word that saves me. Stay, my love, stay, because even shadows lean toward the light when they know they are not alone."
