    “She is close enough to me that I can see her, because even now there is the outward sign of visible light, even at night in this parking lot on the outskirts of Algoe. After we kiss, our foreheads touch as we stare at each other. Yes, I can see her almost perfectly in this cracked darkness.”

    Colleen Houck
    “Home they brought her warrior dead:
    She nor swooned, nor uttered cry:
    All her maidens, watching, said,
    ‘She must weep or she will die.’

    Then they praised him, soft and low,
    Called him worthy to be loved,
    Truest friend and noblest foe;
    Yet she neither spoke nor moved.

    Stole a maiden from her place,
    Lightly to the warrior stepped,
    Took the face-cloth from the face;
    Yet she neither moved nor wept.

    Rose a nurse of ninety years,
    Set his child upon her knee—
    Like summer tempest came her tears—
    ‘Sweet my child, I live for thee.’
    -Alfred Lord Tennyson”

    “I promise to remain faithfully beside you. I pledge to conquer faults; perfect my character. I vow to deserve you.

    I declare you're my dream, my fervent wish fulfilled. I offer my past wealth and future promises. I swear to keep your trust."

    I commit my soul's fire and my body's force. I profess I am forever bound to your heart. I proclaim I am yours.”

    “Sometimes we get sad about things and we don't like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret. Or sometimes, we are sad but we really don't know why we are sad, so we say we aren't sad but we really are.”
