00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.900 align:middle line:90%


00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:03.450 align:middle line:84%
The men you've
loved are one man.

00:00:03.450 --> 00:00:06.210 align:middle line:84%
The women I've
known are one woman.

00:00:06.210 --> 00:00:11.400 align:middle line:84%
I hold your hand, and look into
your face with love and peace.

00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:15.330 align:middle line:84%
We will lie down together
and nothing matter,

00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:18.645 align:middle line:84%
but making each of us
the first and the last.

00:00:18.645 --> 00:00:21.520 align:middle line:90%


00:00:21.520 --> 00:00:23.650 align:middle line:90%
We look at each other silently.

00:00:23.650 --> 00:00:25.870 align:middle line:84%
We are prepared to
lose one another

00:00:25.870 --> 00:00:28.840 align:middle line:84%
to boredom, or to
events that will offer

00:00:28.840 --> 00:00:31.330 align:middle line:90%
their own kinds of inducements.

00:00:31.330 --> 00:00:33.700 align:middle line:90%
And we hate ourselves for it.

00:00:33.700 --> 00:00:35.320 align:middle line:90%
We cannot hate each other.

00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:38.080 align:middle line:84%
We have given and
received so much pleasure,

00:00:38.080 --> 00:00:40.660 align:middle line:84%
but we may doubt
it as an absolute.

00:00:40.660 --> 00:00:45.010 align:middle line:84%
But then our arms embrace
that much more closely,

00:00:45.010 --> 00:00:50.740 align:middle line:84%
in secret aware of pleasure
that exists elsewhere for us.

00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:54.280 align:middle line:84%
And again, we are stirred
to lie down together.

00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:57.820 align:middle line:84%
To affirm love and
principle, and the pleasure

00:00:57.820 --> 00:01:01.750 align:middle line:84%
is impersonal yet
stronger for that.

00:01:01.750 --> 00:01:03.980 align:middle line:90%
Once more we look at each other.

00:01:03.980 --> 00:01:05.810 align:middle line:90%
This time wisely.

00:01:05.810 --> 00:01:09.580 align:middle line:84%
We have had an experience
greater than ourselves,

00:01:09.580 --> 00:01:12.150 align:middle line:90%
as we embrace again.

00:01:12.150 --> 00:01:13.000 align:middle line:90%
