When I came in and you were sleeping, I thought: Theres my soldier, exhausted from her wars. He lifted her hand, kissed her fingers. Now, I look, and I think: Theres my woman, soft and lovely. Her lips curved as he undressed her. Where do you get this stuff? It just comes to me. Ive only to look at you, and the world comes to me. Youre my life.
