Dark moments Quote by Eric Nickel
“I have noticed, Within myself, A terrible design flaw. I will have to look into this further, When the Monster returns, For Maintenance. For some reason, I can not truly explain, The Dark moments, Linger, Last, Painfully exquisite detail. Perfect clarity. While the beautiful moments, While timeless, Slip away in the moment. I have on occasion reflected upon a beautiful kiss, One I have known Only Yesterday, To sadly find, I can not recapture it. I can remember it, But the emotion that made the moment, Is Missing. And so, To correct this design flaw, I covet and feed, Love, Romance, Passion, and Joy. And I keep on kissing...”
