“The people we know are dead, yet you came back for me …, there is no life without you.”

“I watch you sleep in the still of the night / You look so pretty when you dream / So many people just go through life / Holding back, they don't say what they mean / But it's easy for me / Since you came”

“I basked in you;
I loved you, helplessly, with a boundless tongue-tied love.
And death doesn't prevent me from loving you.
Besides,
in my opinion you aren't dead.
(I know dead people, and you are not dead.)”

“That's the kind of death that frightens me. The shadow of death slowly, slowly eats away at the region of life, and before you know it everything's dark and you can't see, and the people around you think of you as more dead than alive.”

“damn my intuition here it goes
wish i didn’t know the things I know
you're backing off from me
i saw it happening
the moment she came back to you”

“Years ago, there was a rumor going around that I was dead because I was working in Ireland. Once I got back, people who seemed very upset would come up to me and say, «We thought you were dead!»”

“No matter how much you hate or how much you suffer, you can't bring the dead back to life”

“I thought you were dead.
Stupid. As if I'd die without taking you with me.”

“I just think you people would be happier back in Africa where you came from.”

“A life without purpose is like a river without water, you came here to activate your gift, don’t let nobody stop you.”
