I fell in love with you; also on
Fats, caffeine and tobacco, all of which
Have been known to cause heart failure.
Know this: a strong constitution goes a long way,
which is really far... but to think that
makes my heart stop beating.
I'm the first man killed by insinuation.
How far must we go to be together? don't laugh,
And in which direction, horizontal or vertical?
For how long could you love somebody like me?
If I gave you Venus, would you bring my heart with you?
