“Reading is everything. Reading makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something, learned something, become a better person. Reading makes me smarter. Reading gives me something to talk about later on. Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it’s a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it’s a way of making contact with someone else’s imagination after a day that’s all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.”

What Happens In The Heart (Can Never Be Undone)
1863
I never stopped loving you know it’s true
But too many choices make choice hard to do
So I took a chance that our moment was through
But I never stopped loving you.
You wrote a song I remember the tune
But I can’t remember the words that you used
Oh what a shame when a memory you lose
But I never stopped loving you.
Careful what you choose
When you are confused
You may not approve
What comes through to you.
How many times can a heart move its home
Before it is missing a part of the whole?
How many times does a love you have lost
Show you a love of your own?
You know what to do
When you are confused
Take a look around
Love what you have found.
What about this song? Doesn’t it cut you like a knife?
What about your dreams? Don’t they get you through the night?
You and I remember what it felt like to be loved…
And what happens in the heart can never be undone.
What happens in the heart can never be undone.
“If we could just have the kitchen and the bedroom, that would be all we need.”
