“Beseech me; I require no contest Embrace me; I shall not wince away Proclaim me; I will forever stay”

“I can’t stay away from you,” he whispers...“Don’t stay away from me, then,” I whisper back...”

“Maybe they notice me wincing whenever I hear them say it, but I don't know: there are all sorts of reasons I could be wincing. Life is a wince-a-thon.”

“Nay, I beseech you, sir, be not out with me: yet,if you be out, sir, I can mend you.”

“I thought I told you to stay away from me,” I snap.“No, you told me not to touch you again. You never said to stay away,” he shrugs.“Why are you such an asshole?”“Probably the same reason you’re such a pain in the ass. For the fun of it.”

“My dearest life, I know you are not mine forever; but do love me even if it’s for this moment. After that I shall vanish into the forest where you cast me, I won’t ask anyone for anything again. Give me something that can last me till I die.”
