“[ A ] What else did the gods tell you about my future? … [ B ] Not to love any other woman. Similer: It is good to be loved, but when it's sepreated by a distance, go for the nearest. In order words love the one you are with.”

“Who was it that came to see you
when there was no one else in sight?
And who was it that stayed over an hour
(and not as I'd expected, overnight)?
It was me, and I'll tell you why:
Oh, I did it because of my
pure unabashed devotion to loving
(pure unabashed devotion to loving)
you, you, you, you.
Who was it that caught you falling?”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter
