If there is no love in the world, we will make a new world, from the inside out, and give it a knocker that resonates like a diamond falling to a jeweler’s felt so that we should never hear it. Love me, because love doesn't exist, and I have tried everything that does.  Stay by me because that is what friends do in the presence of evil or love. Even when I can’t see it, show me that everything is illuminated. Keep me from sadness things. Like sadness of being misunderstood, sadness of love without release, sadness of not knowing enough words to express what you mean, sadness of confusion, sadness of remembering, sadness of forgetting, anxiety sadness, kissing sadness, sadness of laughter that’s not infinite. If our diamond doorbell breaks, keep it just for looks.
