A defining characteristic--
If you go away, and if you go away for a long time, when you come back I'll also be here, and it will be like you never went away at all; I always wait. You come back and I'm there, if you want me.
(I'm burned all over my arms and I have sleeping cancer in my shoulder; these things happen, you get used to it. To-night I have a date, and I won't be home until eleven-thirty, at best--these things offer happiness, you take them and hold them in your hands.)
