Because I desire you

A small party was thrown for my collection of letters “Because I Desire You", which was recently published.
Mark Schaevers – the editor of this book and the collector of these letters – said some heartwarming words.
After that a lovely lady from Belgium radio interviewed me for 350 people in an Antwerp theatre.
My publisher got drunk, which is not that uncommon.
Another author, Mr. Brouwers, left early – I have been told he didn’t want to risk meeting me.
Sigrit came alle the way from Vienna, my amante was there with my driver Klaas and his wife.
And my godson went to bed early. His green vest was beautiful.
