 What Is That In Everyone's Mouth? by Gustavo Liuzzi "The day you leave my side..." I thought, "then I will die" I could never tell you HOW GREAT HOW POWERFUL HOW STEEP my love for you was but... wait... what, WHAT exactly is love? I thought it was infinite I thought it was somewhat like a light that once it was lit it would never go off I thought, I really thought I knew But it is no longer so When you left me.. when you left me I thought I was going to die and I didn't really wish otherwise Even if there was no God Even if there was no Heaven Even if there was nothing at all I just wanted to die Seemed way easier than living without you by my side for a day, for two for a week, for two drowning in my own tears and sobs I was But now I'm here See, I didn't die and I recall and ponder Why? WHY?! why did I "love" you so fucking much? and why did the greatest feeling ever felt by my young heart dissipate, like a tide in the solitude of the sea? do people really think they need a ring and a priest in white robes to tell them they will have each other forever and ever? Those are huge words that I seldom use anymore Maybe they are just afraid the light will go off, like... just like I was But now I have realized, there are many shimmering stars when the moonlight is not so... bright. And though I don't feel what I felt and I don't need you the way I did I still truly feel love for you So then, what exactly is love, my dearest friend? God might know, what I can tell you though is I most definitely love you.
