• Even without love, I can live fine alone. It's not like I've always had what I wanted. In my life not even once... I was never selfish nor full of greed. The things I want to do, the things I want, the things I wish for... have I ever even had any of those, for at least once in my whole life? I can live fine without love. I will find a way to survive. Dying is hell. Why is living supposed to be hell?

• Here, when I say I never want to be without you,
  somewhere else I am saying
  I never want to be without you again. And when I touch you
  in each of the places we meet,
  
  in all of the lives we are, it's with hands that are dying
  and resurrected.
  When I don't touch you it's a mistake in any life,
  in each place and forever
