No one disappointing experience or person will ever rob me of believing in romance, gentleness, vulnerability, goodness, commitment and love. Perhaps, my dreams and expectations are naive, rooted in fanciful, youthful wishful thinking that at times feels out of place in a world that so often values practicality over passion...

You and I are taxed day to day for our respective advantages in life. We have a shared understanding between one another. We frequently find ourselves pondering the same things...
