WARNING:
Self Indulgent Warning Ahead

I'd give you every secret buried in my soul
If I could
More than life itself I would love you
If I could
All that I am I would dedicate to you
If I could
I'd rip out my heart and give it to you
If I could
I'd pull love up by the roots for you
If I could
I'd smoke and drink myself away for you
If I could
I'd love the wrong person and pretend for you
If I could
I'd do the only sensible thing
If I could

(Right before my father died, my girlfriend of a decade and a half tells me she just can't be my girlfriend any more. At the moment, we're not a couple but we are still cohabitating (yes, it's a bit tense, and, yes, it's logistically and ecconomically necessary, but I'm not sure how long it can be sustained). It's over. I'm in pain. So's everybody, I guess...)
