“For Beatrice, summer without you is as cold as winter. Winter without you, is even colder.”

“Summer seems so cold without you, winter is even colder.”

“For Beatrice--My love for you shall live forever. You, however, did not.”

“For Beatrice, I cherished, you perished,The world's been nightmarished.”

“For Beatrice-When we were together I felt breathless.Now you are.”

“I will love you if you don’t marry me. I will love you if you marry someone else your co-star, perhaps, or Y., or even O., or anyone Z. through A., even R. Although sadly I believe it will be quite some time before two women can be allowed to marry and I will love you if you have a child, and I will love you if you have two children, or three children, or even more, although I personally think three is plenty, and I will love you if you never marry at all, and never have children, and spend your years wishing you had married me after all, and I must say that on late, cold nights I prefer this scenario out of all the scenarios I have mentioned. That, Beatrice, is how I will love you even as the world goes on its wicked way.”

“For Beatrice, when we first met, I was lonely, and you were pretty.Now I am pretty lonely.”
