When We Lost Our Heads

by Heather O'Neill

“But of course I love you so much. How could I not? You are so lovable. Any girl would fall in love with you. I want to be the only one who knows how to love you. I want you to think that if you didn’t have me to love, then you will be all alone in the world. I want you to be as afraid of losing me as I am of losing you. Is that cruel? I’m so mean, I know. Can I make it up to you in kisses? I could never get tired of kissing you. Do you fancy some cookies?”
