Concerned? Are you quite alright, Jonah?

Are you quite sure? I’d be happy to offer my services to alleviate your worries, if I can.

Oh! I- Yes, of course, if I may. It is always a pleasure to be in your company, Jonah.

Oh . . .

did you hear me? i said i love you. i said i still love you. still， you.

and all i loved， i loved alone.

you'd get lonely without me, wouldn't you...?

after decades of starving and yearning， when love and affection has finally been bestowed upon you， how do you bear the delightful intensity of its taste? each bite overwhelms me to the bone.

in  my  dreams  i  am  kissing  your  mouth  and  you're  whispering  '  where  have  you  been?  '  i  say,  '  i've  been  lost  but  i'm  here  now.  you're  the  only  person  who  has  ever  been  able  to  find  me.  '

but i still hold out hope that maybe someday .. i'll be worth more than all the silence left in my way.
