We must be one with our lover

when I was alone, I could think about her, but she was not there, she was not mine. When she was there, I could speak to her, but was too removed from myself to be able to think.

seul, je pouvais penser à elle, mais elle me manquait, je ne la possédais pas. Présente, je lui parlais, mais j’étais trop absent de moi-même pour pouvoir penser.
