I do not know the name of the feeling that I have for you. But it is a special tenderness, something I have never felt until now, not for anyone.
– Gustave Flaubert
“You felt familiar the moment I met you. A lovely sort of déjà vu. When we spoke or laughed or danced I became overwhelmed by the powerful sensation that I had been here before. And when we kissed I felt the energies of a thousand lives on our lips, like our souls had known each other all along.”— Beau Taplin
