James Patterson Quote

You are the explosion of carnations in a dark room.Or the unexpected scent of pine miles from the woods of Maine.You are a full moon that gives midnight it's meaning.And the explanation of water For all living things.You are a compass,a sapphire,a bookmark.A rare coin,a smooth stone,a marble.You are an old lore, a small shell,a saved silver dollar.You are a fine quartz,a feathered quill,and a fob from a favorite watch.You are a valentinetattered and loved and reread a hundred times.You are a medal found in the drawer of a once sung hero.You are honey,and cinnamon and West Indies spices,lost from the boatthat was once Marco Polo's.You are a pressed rose,a pearl ring,and a red perfume bottle found near the Nile.You are an old soul from an ancient placea thousand years, and centuriesand millenniums ago.And you have traveled all this wayjust so I could love you.I do.
