You will know that I do and do not love you just as life is of two minds, a word is one wing of silence, and fire is half made of ice.
I love you just so I can begin to love you, to begin anew at the infinite and to be able never to stop loving you:
For these reasons, I do not love you yet.
I do and do not love you as if I held in my hands the keys to every happiness and an uncertain, unhappy fate.
My love has two lifetimes to love you.
That's how I can love you when I don't, and still love you when I do.
