James Baldwin Quotes

Giovanni Smiled His Humble, Grateful Smile And Told Me In As Many Ways As He Could Find How Wonderful It Was To Have Me There, How I Stood, With My Love And My Ingenuity, Between Him And The Dark. Each Day He Invited Me To Witness How He Had Changed, How Love Had Changed Him, How He Worked And Sang And Cherished Me. I Was In A Terrible Confusion. Sometimes I Thought, But This Is Your Life. Stop Fighting It. Stop Fighting. Or I Thought, But I Am Happy, And He Loves Me. I Am Safe. Sometimes, When He Was Not Near Me, I Thought, I Will Never Let Him Touch Me Again. Then, When He Touched Me, I Thought It Doesn't Matter, It Is Only The Body, It Will Soon Be Over. When It Was Over I Lay In The Dark And Listen To His Breathing And Dreamed Of The Touch Of Hands, Of Giovanni's Hands, Or Anybody's Hands, Hands Which Would Have The Power To Crash Me And Make Me Whole Again.
