You say you love me
You say that you care
I say to you that I don’t feel your love nor care
You ignore me in protest
Love me like no other
Love me like there is no tomorrow
Touch me as though you will never get the chance to touch me again
Kiss me like you are going to war
Hold me as if you never mean to let me go
Tell me everyday what I mean to you
Tell me how much you love me
Remind me that I am the one, that I’m your motive for life
Reassure me that without me, your world will be cold and dark
I don’t know what I mean to you
I don’t know where I stand
All I know is that I’m starving for love

What can I hold you with?
I offer you lean streets, desperate sunsets, the
moon of the jagged suburbs.
I offer you the bitterness of a man who has looked
long and long at the lonely moon.
I offer you the loyalty of a man who has never
been loyal.
I offer you explanations of yourself, theories about
yourself, authentic and surprising news of
yourself.
I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the
hunger of my heart; I am trying to bribe you
with uncertainty, with danger, with defeat…….
Jorge Luis Borges
