She said to me, 'I try not to like you so much, I must admit.' And I was confounded. And she said also, 'Its because I'm afraid if I love you too much, when I go I'll be sad.' And I thought her cowardly and got angry. Her eyes I think went moist and she said, 'I can't explain!' in a miserable voice, and her soft mouth curled in her sadness. Later she said, 'You didn't understand me;' she told me it was no use her trying not to love me. And she drew in the air the angle of her feeling, the progressive line of passion that grew steadily higher to show what had been growing in her these past weeks about me. I thought her so intelligent, enveloped in elegant naivety and dignity. I told her to embrace sadness and that if she really loved me she would free herself to feel anything, no matter what sadness she'd feel when we became separated. We must become so. We know now only a month remains for us and it adds depth and outline to our togetherness. Every moment wasted is precious. We must not argue. I cry often now, especially when I think of the card she gave me on my birthday; on it was written simple poetry, but achingly beautiful, like dew on leaves; the last line said: 'You're here inside my heart.'

This is so sad. This fear of loving too much is a pathology I would say that is rather frequent ... It's like not wanting to stay in the sunlight for the sadness we feel when the sun sets .... Beautiful, touching poem. Hope she will change her mind! Love, Margherita  |
