“I tell my husband about my childhood and he tells me about his but it isn't the same. We can never know each other as we were then. But I know you. I will see the child you were in the man you will become. So come to me. When you need me, come. When you are lost, when are you low: come. When the birds have stopped singing, or you have stopped hearing, because they never stop singing. They are birds.”
