You talk to me in riddles, I will answer you in rhyme. I loved you for a little- I will love you for all time.
LANG LEAVYou talk to me in riddles, I will answer you in rhyme. I loved you for a little- I will love you for all time.
LANG LEAVThere are things we sacrifice for love, that we willingly give. But no one who loves you will ever ask you to give up more than you are willing.
LANG LEAVThere is one who you belong to, whose love- there is no song for.
LANG LEAVWe had no ending, no said goodbye. For all my life, I’ll wonder why.
LANG LEAVBecause sooner or later, all kinds of love – crazy love, wild love- fade into the same thing. The love becomes old and predictable -safe.
LANG LEAVWe were born to walk this world in intersecting lines.
LANG LEAVI love you, I do – you have my word. You have all my words.
LANG LEAVI can’t believe how hard it is. The pain is indescribable. It’s like I’ve been turned into sandstone and my insides are being slowly hollowed out by a chisel and mallet.
LANG LEAVIt was a question I had worn on my lips for days – like a loose thread on my favourite sweater I couldn’t resist pulling – despite knowing it could all unravel around me. “Do you love me, I ask?” In your hesitation I found my answer.
LANG LEAVWe spoke once about lovers who kept finding each other, no matter how many times the world came between them. And I think I had to break your heart, and you had to break mine. How else could we know the worth of what we were given?
LANG LEAVI want you to remember my lips beneath your fingers and how you told me things you never told another soul. I want you to know that I have kept sacred, everything you had entrusted in me and I always will.
LANG LEAVI don’t want to be in a relationship where I feel the constant need to explain myself. I don’t want to live in a world like that either.
LANG LEAVAnd you said ecstasy was a storm cloud, just before the rain would burst into the night sky, like a thousand aquatic stars-and not one single moment before.
LANG LEAVThat night, we talked the way old friends do, with candor and ease.
LANG LEAVI know love because I am in love. Because of how long I’ve loved. Because of the man I love.
LANG LEAVWhen in truth, it is the transparency that kills you. The pain of seeing through to something you can never quite touch.
