1This book was born from an idyllic love of youth. An honest love filled with firsts and dripping in honeyed romantic clich ; but if it was born in innocence - The sublimity was forged in the stark reality of loss, the hollow sound of a lonely apartment and the fragments of shattered glass. These are my words, may each page gently breathe life into the wistful dreams of anyone who has ever had the courage to rise up and open their heart once again.
