...and suddenly you started singing out your love for me. My name and everything, loud enough to reach the top floors of all the buildings.

There are times when I worry that I've already lost myself. That is, that my self is so inseparable from being with you that if we were to separate, I would no longer be. I save this thought for when I feel the darkest discontent. I never meant to depend so much on someone else.
