It has been said, a man can love a thousand women,
all in the same old way that one-day butterflies
love flowers, because there are so many,
that touching only one in their short life
would be sheer foolishness...
But loving only you, my darling, was like
a thousand love affairs a day between us,
and every single one helped us to better know,
our deepest human needs, by learning many ways
of giving and receiving love that God would bless...
