If he appears to bar
All passageways and paths,
He will open the secret way
For you, which others do not know. ~ Rumi

Now I think that just to be in the same room as you is adventure enough, that your friendship would be more exciting than most people's love. All my good intentions left me the minute I set eyes on you today, and I know that even if I tell you to go now, sooner or later I'll come crawling back like a spaniel begging for any crumb you might throw me.
