Oh, I will be cruel to you, Marya Morevna. It will stop your breath, how cruel I can be. But you understand, don’t you? You are clever enough. I am a demanding creature.

I crawl at your feet; for before your love, your kisses, I am debased. For you alone I will be weak.

I finally find a boy who likes me for me… And i’m not even me.
Hey, it’s me again, Uh… I know it’s late to be calling and all that and I know you probably don’t want to talk to me or anything, but, um… I was just calling to say that, um… that I miss you. See, I, uh…I can’t really talk to anybody the way I talk to you or anything like that, and, um…Yeah. Um…I don’t really know what to say, other than the fact that…I really love you, Marianne.
