“Since I’ve had to be without your sweetest presence, I have not wished to hear or see any other human being, but as the turtle-dove, having lost its mate, perches forever on its little dried up branch, so I lament endlessly till I shall enjoy your trust again. I look about and do not find my lover — she does not comfort me even with a single word.
Indeed when I reflect on the loveliness of your most joyful speech and aspect, I am utterly depressed, for I find nothing now that I could compare with your love, sweet beyond honey and honeycomb, compared with which the brightness of gold and silver is tarnished. What more?”
Are you telling me that 12th century nuns were big gay?
Albert Camus, tr. by David Hapgood, from “The First Man,” c. 1994 (via violentwavesofemotion)
Because I love you. Because when I was very
young, very foolish, and very much alone—you remember?—you paid attention to me and, without seeming to, you opened for me the door to everything I love in the world.

I cannot bear to leave you, because you will forget, I will forget, except for perhaps once or twice a brief sharp sear of pain as a word, a laugh, a thought of truth, will cut like a knife at all that will have happened after now,
