What kind of fool am I, who never fell in love? It seems that I’m the only one that I have been thinking of. What kind of mind is this? An empty shell, A lonely cell in which an empty heart must dwell. What kind of clown am I? What do I know of life?... Read More

I don’t know how to love Him. What to do, how to move Him. I’ve been changed. Yes, really changed. In these past few days, when I’ve seen myself I seem like someone else. I don’t know how to take this. I don’t see why He moves me. He’s a man, He’s just a man.... Read More

To dream the impossible dream. To fight the unbeatable foe. To bear with unbearable sorrow. To run where the brave dare not go. To right the un-rightable wrong. To love, pure and chaste from afar.
