beautiful.

so i am not one for mushy poetry or things like that, mostly because i just dont understand it... but i was watching sex and the city, and she read this letter from Beethoven to 'His Immortal Beloved' (so sweet), and pretty much i fell in love with this. *sigh*

Though still in bed, my thoughts go out to you, my Immortal Beloved,

now and then joyfully, then sadly, waiting to learn whether or not fate will hear us -

I can live only wholly with you or not at all -

Yes, I am resolved to wander so long away from you until I can fly to your arms and say that I am really at home with you, and can send my soul enwrapped in you into the land of spirits -

Yes, unhappily it must be so -

You will be the more contained since you know my fidelity to you.

No one else can ever possess my heart - never - never -

Be calm, only by a calm consideration of our existence can we achieve our purpose to live together -

Be calm - love me - today - yesterday - what tearful longings for you - you - you - my life - my all - farewell.

Oh continue to love me - never misjudge the most faithful heart of your beloved.

ever thine

ever mine

ever ours

L.

what i would give to live when people talked like that.
