Mrs. Valente, I'll love you forever. These words wash over me, cleansing as rain.

You take the train to heaven, listen to the bees, circumnavigate fairyland with your skirt as your sail, be a beast amoung beasts, fall in love with the ghosts of your childhood. 

Take me to Palimpsest, dip my feet in the ink, wrap me in red, read my cards. I'm ready for the real world.

This is my favourite love story.
