Who needs a dream?
Who needs ambition?
Who'd be the fool
In my position?
Once I had dreams
Now they're obsessions
Hopes became needs
Lovers possessions

"I think," he said slowly. "That is how he shows he cares. If he didn't fight you or try to irritate you, it would mean you were nothing to him. Why would he waste his time on an inferior opponent, after all?"
