“Acum înţeleg ce înseamnă suferinţa care nu se poate manifesta în voie. Te roade, pe ascuns, încet, fără să te avertizeze. Te lasă cu armele jos, te ia pe nepregătite, să te predai. Nu plâng când îmi amintesc că nu mai eşti. Lucrul acesta nu poate fi integrat în mine. Plâng când îmi amintesc de clipele atât de vii cu tine. Alea dor cel mai tare pentru că aduc la suprafaţă adevărul crud că nu vor mai fi niciodată.”

“I am sad because I love you, because I love you so much, and because I am not a bee to buzz with you lightly. I am not a flower, not a tree, not a rain-hewn stone. I am not a storm or a cresting wave, not a thorn or a vine. I am not the sun stinging the water, not the moon on the snow. I am not a star in the dark. I am not the dew-wet wind, not the cloud-stained dawn. I am only a girl, a small, plain girl, a girl who must smear her lips in honey to be found sweet.”
