Quiet Desperation

"Many of men live lives of quiet desperation. Perhaps the desperation could not be quieted anymore."

- Shall We Dance

I cannot be made as an excuse to escape from reality. As I am reality myself.

What I'd like to do is live my life - share the life of someone else. Fully.

I cannot make you a part of my life if you can only give me a fraction of it.

Because I want it all. Every moment, every part. Painful, sad, quiet, happy, ecstatic. Whatever they may be I want to be a witness to it. And I want my life to be witnessed. Fully.

So if you cannot give me this, banish the thought of being with me.

The One will give me his or her life. As I will give mine.
