“You own him.

You should’ve seen the way he was looking at you while you were out.”

Our love is rare.

It’s one I can’t abandon even if I tried.

“I do not want to be alone like this. Why have you not come back to haunt me? It is the least I would have expected of you. Why this silence day after day, night after interminable night? It is like a fog, this silence of yours. First it was a blur on the horizon, the next minute we were in the midst of it, purblind and stumbling, clinging to each other…Send back your ghost. Torment me, if you like. Rattle your chains, drag your cerements across the floor, keen like a banshee, anything. I would have a ghost.”

— John Banville, The Sea

“I missed you,"

I whisper against his skin and feel dizzy with the intimacy of the admission, feel more naked than when he could see every inch of me.

"In the mortal world, when I thought you were my enemy, I still missed you."

“My sweet nemesis, how glad I am that you returned.”
