“Was I so wrong to love thee?
Had my heart surpassed its own limitation, strayed too far from its emotionless barrier?
Was it so absurd to have for once, allowed myself to perceive such love or is love but a dream imprisoned in the whispers of the soul?
I cannot stop such love, for how can one halt that which has no commencement?
If thou doth dismiss me, rejection of bitterness,
I have only but to offer pity.
For if one hath not loved then, how art thou capable of living?
It is better to have once felt the murmur of your heart than to maintain a life forever dispassionate.
For love is essential, vital for the heart’s sake.”
