I asked my heart what punishment she deserves; my heart said nothing. I asked what salve outside herself could heal my hurts; my heart said nothing.

I asked if I deserve to hurt thus for nothing, when my universe would be nothing without her, so great is her worth; my heart said only one thing, love her
