+Such pain, that plane flew away with my heart. My life, my breath, my sweet boy, my child, my dearest love your scent is still on my sheets, and my heart sleeps without waking in the arms of sadness.
-Darling, I love you. What have you done to me? I miss you.
+I'm depressed, lifeless, as though I'm waiting for something hold me close against your heart and
know that nothing means more to me than you. Bring me back my heart.
-Whenever I'm in a restaurant and hear 'La Vie en Rose'...
+If I see, my love, how devoted you are to your wife and children I have the urge to go far away and perhaps one day you'll be grateful for what I've done. I can't have you to myself and I can't live without you. As God is my witness,I ask nothing for myself and am prepared to sacrifice everything.
