Elizabeth Melendez:  

it is something you can never forget. This is who I am: someone who simultaneously longs for and fears the commitment of remembering. There is the forgetting, the disintegration of memory, morsel by morsel; and there is the impossibility of forgetting, the scar tissue, with its insulated layers of padding. Both haunt me in their own way. Book: The Opposite of Love by Julie Buxbaum "We can die by it, if not live by love, And if unfit for tomb or hearse Our legend be, it will be fit for verse; And if no piece of chronicle we prove, We'll build in sonnets pretty rooms" -John Donne "Chaucer's most read work -- The Canterbury Tales -- he never considered to be worthwhile because he never finished it. I don't think I could ever finish writing about you, I don't think it'd ever be complete, but you move me in a way nothing else does, and if I'm any poet at all, that should make for my best unfinished work." -Matt Zeller "You're like a poem, Liz. One that I never get tired of reading" -Robin".
