I felt almost, I don't know, noble, like a medieval knight or something, carrying this secret love around with me.","author":"Carolyn Parkhurst","tags":["crush","identity-crisis","love","secret","unrequited-love"],"id":14390,"author_id":"Carolyn+Parkhurst"},{"text":"I had the most beautiful dream, and then I fell asleep in your arms and my dream turned lovelier still.","author":"Richelle E.
