Ten Loves

"'I don't think I'll hear the sea again after this. This sound was yours, always in my ears, telling me to come and find you. Now it will be silent.'

'I'll find a way to leave with you,' he said.

'There's no need. I won't be able to take care of you, I know it. We're both too selfish. Each of us wants to contain the other entirely - but we also belong to art. How can we accept that, only ever being able to possess a part, not the whole.'"
