I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself of the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you.
