Sometimes we make love with our hands. Sometimes we make love with our bodies. Always we make love with our hearts. If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. To love another person is to see the face of God.

  Victor Hugo

Some of them would just be changed back to whatever form they used to be, before I second-guessed myself the first time.
