Oh, how perfect it is to want you, how perfect it is to long for that which I know I can never have, to see the futility in my desires and to desire them in spite of, how perfect it is that you do not love me anymore, that we will not fall into mutual complacency which would inevitably tarnish and blanch, that the unknown will remain unknowable, that anything will continue to be possible because nothing has been tested against fate, how perfect it is to wish for the infeasible, to strive toward a goal I will never attain, to never lack something to search for, oh, how perfect it is to want you; how perfect it is to want too much.
