First topic: THE WAY I LONGED TO BE LOVED

Comment on the importance of this passage:

Lying next to her, looking at her face in the moonlight, feeling the delicate weight of her small hand on my cheek, listening to her breathing deepen, I wondered how could I make her love me the way I longed to be loved (57)

2: THE CLEFT

Who says this, when, what does he or she mean? Where is this idea mentioned again?
