"I discover a missing childhood when I'm with Alex. A world in which everything is equally new and exciting—nothing is tainted. In his company, I color outside of the lines and marvel at my masterpiece. I spend hours watching talking ducks with lisps and grey rabbits dodging death. Nothing matters except what we are doing in the moment. His life hops along with a carefree loveliness that I seem to have skipped over."
In Between Dreams, Iman Verjee (2014)
