Please do not fall in love
with me, for I cannot
bear that burden.
And as the night sky
thickens, and the water
runs cold, remember I am
here for you, but only till'
tomorrow. I would hate for
you to love me, it would break
me like a shell, for a salmon
can only swim so far,
until it swims all the way to hell.
