"We were inside the train car when I started to cry.
You were crying too, smiling and crying in a way
that made me even more hysterical.
You said I could have anything I wanted,
but I just couldn't say it out loud.
Actually, you said Love, for you,
is larger than the usual romantic love.
It's like a religion. It's...
terrifying."


-Richard Siken
