As I reach for you time and time again, you surprise me with just how perfect you are. You're the fleeting dream in which I cannot grasp. You're so close yet so far away. And as you blind my vision, I don't realize the damage you inflict upon me. And as I leave the others to sail by themselves, your green light is all I see, your expensive voice is all I hear, your soft lips are all I taste, your short-lived love is all I feel. As a piercing pain and a diluted red envelop me, I reach out to what I desperately believe in. And as I sail to the end of the world, I forget my fellow yet poetic sailor. Never knowing the pain I cause my poor old sport.

Jay Gatsby (from The Great Gatsby novel)
"There are plenty of fish under the ocean." Wait. Scratch that. "There are plenty of fish in the aquarium. Why the aquarium you ask? Because there are prettier fish in there than in the ocean. And not all of them bite."
