Nerida

“The fear of fellow man is mere assignment.”

“The same kind of music haunts her bedroom.”

“I’m almost me again, and she’s almost you.”

“I wouldn’t know where to start.”

“Don’t ruin this on me.”

“Tell me who, and I’ll thank them for it.”

“I laugh like me again, and she laughs like you.”

“I still watch you when you’re grooving.”

“As if through water from the bottom of pool, you’re moving without moving.”

“You are a call to motion.”

“I could never define all that you are to me.”

“You are the rite of movement.”

“I can recall something that’s gone from me.”

“I’m put in awe of something so flawed and free.”

“Move me, like you’ve nothing left to prove and nothing to lose.”

“You’re an odd sight come out at night.”

“What a waste to say the heart could feel apart or feel complete.”

“It’s the screaming, heaving fuckery of the world.”

“All things come from nothing.”

“My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand.”

“The harder the rain, the sweeter the sun.”

“I’ll be your man if you’ve got love to get done.”

“There will be darkness again.”

“Your secret is safe with me.”

“I shouldn’t hope to know, but here I stand.”

“It’s gin o’clock.”

“I think about you everywhere I go.”

“I’ve had no love like your love.”

“I’d be appalled if I ever saw you try to be a saint.”

“I wouldn’t fall for someone I thought couldn’t misbehave.”

“Why should we deny the truth?”

“We could have less to worry about.”

“I won’t lie to you.”

“Remember when you’d sing, just for the fuck of it?”

“The look of it was as sweet as the sound.”

“You put your emptiness to melody.”

“My heart is screaming.”

“Whatever here is left of me is yours.”

“Your love was unmoved.”

“Make your good love known to me, or just tell me about your day.”

“The nights were as dark as my baby, and half as beautiful too.”

“I couldn’t utter my love when it counted.”

“I couldn’t whisper when you needed it, and I shouted.”

“Remember me, when I’m reborn as the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn.”

“All of my goodness is going with you now.”

“I’m flying like a bird to you now.”

“I was housed by your warmth.”

“I was transformed by your grounded and giving.”

“I’d be the choiceless hope in grief.”

“Imagine being loved by me.”

“I’ve got in my mind now, all the things I would do.”

“I’ll try to talk refined for fear that you find out how I’m imagining you.”

“I’d be the last shred of truth in the myth of true love.”

“Be as you’ve always been.”

“Be the love that discovered the sin that freed the first man.”

“Be love in its disrepute.”

“I’d suffer hell if you’d tell me what you’d do to me tonight.”

“This is the kind of love I’ve been dreaming of.”

“Let there be hotel complaints and grievances raised.”

“Let there be damage ensues and tabloid news.”

“You’re good to me, baby.”

“With the roar of the fire, my heart rose to its feet.”

“It settles soft and as pure as snow.”

“I feel in love with the fire long ago.”

“With each love I cut loose, I was never the same.”

“Your love is sunlight.”

“The tale is the same, told before and told again.”

“All that was shown to me was something foreknown to me.”

“Each day you rise to me, know that I would gladly be the Icarus to your certainty.”

“All the fear and fire of the end of the world happens each time a boy falls in love with a girl.”

“Wasteland, baby, I’m in love with you.”

“Be still, my undelible friend, you are unbreaking.”

“I love, too, a love that soon might end.”
