If I love you I will carry for you all your pain I will assume for you all your debts in every definition of the word I will protect you from your own insecurity I will protect upon you all sorts of good qualities that you have never actually cultivated in yourself and I will buy Christmas presents for your entire family. I will give you the sun and the rain and if they are not available I will give you a sun check and a rain check. I will give you all this and more until I get so exhausted and depleted that the only way I can recover my energy is by becoming infatuated with someone else.

Last time I saw you I said that it hurt too much to love you. But I was wrong about that. The truth is it hurts too much not to love you.

Youre beautiful but youre empty...One couldnt die for you. Of course an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. But my rose all on her own is more important than all of you together since shes the one Ive watered. Since shes the one I put under glass since shes the one I sheltered behind the screen. Since shes the one for whom I killed the caterpillars except the two or three butterflies. Since shes the one I listened to when she complained or when she boasted or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. Since shes my rose.

For it was not into my ear you whispered but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed but my soul.

I envy people that know love. That have someone who takes them as they are.

Im in love with you and I know that love is just a shout into the void and that oblivion is inevitable and that were all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust and I know the sun will swallow the only earth well ever have and I am in love with you.

Someday well run into each other again I know it.Maybe Ill be older and smarter and just plain better. If that happensthats when Ill deserve you. But now at this moment you cant hook your boat to mine because Im liable to sink us both.

You never knew the last time you were seeing someone. You didnt know when the last argument happened or the last time you had sex or the last time you looked into their eyes and thanked God they were in your life.After they were goneThat was all you thought about.Day and night.
