    About this ebook

    From the swelling waves of love, that's deep within the chambers of my heart; you've given me the desire to bask in the emptiness. To dance in the sheets, intimately secluded. To crave the Love from the reflected silhouette staring into the galaxies that I am.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.
