“You know what is the problem with trust??
It really stops the conversation, because you take the things for granted,
Things value less to you because you know that, that thing is going to be there for you, no matter what,

And you've got her completely,
And that is the problem. You don’t own her,
Because sometimes love is not enough,
And bad is strong to iterate itself with you,
It is much stronger to come back.”

One regrets having cast scraps of one’s heart to other women, and one can not believe in the possibility of ever pressing another hand than that which one holds between one’s hands.”
