Ann-Marie MacDonald Quotes

Under A Smoky Streetlamp I Stood Face To Face With My Beloved And Pricked My Fingers Against The Diamond Studs Of Her Immaculate Shirt Front. Being Tall, She Slipped Her Hands Naturally About My Hips And Pulled Me Close. And Being Bold, I Put My Mouth On Hers And This Time Went Inside And Told Her All The Things I'd Been Longing To. Dark And Sweet, The Elixir Of Love Is In Her Mouth. The More I Drink, The More I Remember All The Things We've Never Done. I Was A Ghost Until I Touched You. Never Swallowed Mortal Food Until I Tasted You, Never Understood The Spoken Word Until I Found Your Tongue. I've Been A Sleep-walker, Sad Somnambula, Hands Outstretched To Strike The Solid Thing That Could Awaken Me To Life At Last. I Have Only Ever Stood Here Under This Lamp, Against Your Body, I've Missed You All My Life.
