Listen...I tried to write all there is between you and me…
“Listen...I tried to write all there is between you and me, all I think about, all I feel, I hope, that I swear, I want, what's rip off, which I think I understand, I know I understand that anyway. Then I removed everything that is scary, everything that is not sincere, everything that is not true, all that dies not matter, all that can be misunderstood, contested, mystified, forgotten, and lost. So basically I was left with when you're happy I'm happy. When you're sad I'm sad. When you're gone I miss you. When you're here I love you.”
