“John and I were very much in love. At Christmas he made me a beautiful card which he’d illustrated with a couple of little sketches of the two of us together. Beside the drawings were several pages of his chaotic handwriting: “I love you, I love you, I love you… I love you like mad… I love you like guitars… I love you like anything lovely… I love you forever and ever… I adore you, I want you, I need you…” And, touchingly, one whole page was devoted to the plea: “I love you so please don’t leave me. I love you so don’t leave me, leave me, leave me. Don’t leave me. I love you, please don’t go away…” - Cynthia Lennon

“I will remember your small room, the feel of you, the light in the window, your records, your books, our morning coffee, our noons our nights, our bodies spilled together, sleeping, the tiny flowing currents, immediate and forever, your leg my leg, your arm my arm, your smile and the warmth of you who made me laugh again. " - Charles Bukowski
