[sometimes you get so close to someone you end up on the other side of them] [you and i have begun to blur] [he’s more myself than i am. whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same] [nevermind mother, for actually he, too, is alexander] [we’re conjoined. curious whether either of us could survive separation] [he is half of my soul, as the poets say] [i’ve never known myself as well as i know myself when i’m with him] [call me by your name and i’ll call you by mine] [all i need darling is a life in your shape / all i ever wanted was a life in your shape] [i think my monster encourages your monster / i think i wanted it to] [let us not desert one another; we are an injured body] [you can see why i’m angry. that a little piece of you is in me. all i am is somehow because of you! and believe me when i say, i cannot bear that] [i wonder what i’d be, without you]
