Darkness Quote by Yangsze Choo

“In the darkness of a thousand withered souls, it was Er Lang’s hand that I sought, and his voice that I longed to hear. Perhaps it is selfish of me, but an uncertain future with him, in all its laughter and quarrels, is better than being left behind.” quote by Yangsze Choo — Download Open image
