Don’t overdo it when you say you love
me, as I don’t want a performance
of any kind; instead, let your
actions serve as your mouthpiece,
for that’s the language I understand far
better than any number of fancy words
which say nothing and mean even
less in actuality, because when
looked at carefully they’re
so absolutely absurd.
