Take it as a given that I love you, And let the conversation go from there. There isn't much I wouldn't do to please you, So tell me what to do to make you care. Tell me what it is that turns you from me, And why you cannot cherish who I am, And why you must insist that you still love me When so much that I do you cannot stand. The truth is not at all what we imagine, Reaching regions deeper than our thoughts. Needs are rarely troubled by opinions, And love gives no advice unless it's sought. So plunge into yourself as in a sea, Then tell me truly what you want of me.
