Perhaps I have not been careful enough. Perhaps I wanted you to consume me. Perhaps I wanted to consume you. Yes, I love you. Yes, I want you. But reality's setting in And the sunspots are clearing from my eyes. The solar inferno weakens. I had built you a statue of emeralds and golden thread But it's been crumbling. The emeralds are turning out to be moss-covered stones The golden thread, stiff hay. I knew you were only human. Maybe I didn't believe it. I did not love you because you were immortal. I did not believe -With him, with him, I shall love forever With him, I shall touch the moon. We shall be created and destroyed, created and destroyed Forever, and together. Beginnings and ends in two become one. Perhaps I thought it But I did not believe it. Don't worry. I will adjust to your humanity And I will build you a snowman, not a statue. A snowangel, maybe. But I am done trying to turn myself to silver. I am done trying to become an inferno. Yes, I love you. Hopefully love is enough.
